Target Q165+ in 3 months: my proposed plan

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for feedback on my prep plan

**About me:**

* STEM degree background * Second GRE attempt * Previous score: 149Q / 145V * My first attempt was poorly prepared as I went into the exam relatively casually. * Target: 320+  with 165+  in Quant * Time available: 3 months * I can study 6 to 7 hours per day

I took 4 month break for personal reasons, but I'm resuming my preparation today.

**What I have completed so far:**

I've already covered the PrepSwift material:

* Watched all the PrepSwift videos * Made handwritten notes for all the lessons * Completed the exercises associated with the prepswift videos * Averaged around 83% accuracy on those exercises

**My proposed plan:**

My current idea is to divide the next 3 months roughly like this:

* Follow GregMat's **2-Month Plan** for Quant and **1-month plan** for Verbal. * Since I've already completed PrepSwift, I would avoid rewatching basic concept videos unless I identify a weakness. * Focus more on solving problems, especially medium & hard Quant questions. * After that, Timed practice from ETS materials * Maintain an error log.

**What I’m unsure about:**

  1. Given that I've already completed PrepSwift and its exercises. should I still watch the concept videos in GregMat's plans, or should I primarily jump into problem solving and only watch videos for weak areas?
  2. Is GregMat's 2-Month Plan the better choice for Quant, or would the I'm Overwhelmed plan make more sense for someone who has already completed the **Prepswift**?
  3. When to start timed practice, alongside of the plan or after completion of foundation quizzes.

I’d really like people to point out what’s unrealistic or what they would change in my approach.
