Paper-based GRE tests are available only twice a year: once in November, and once in February. The 2019-2020 tests were held on November 9th, 2019, and February 1st, 2020




Compared to the ACT and the SAT, the GRE is typically considered more difficult because, even though the math tested on the GRE is a lower level than the math tested on the SAT and ACT, the GRE has more challenging vocabulary and reading passages, and the math problems have trickier wording or require higher-level

Basically both of them will involve same procedures, same preperation, incase your travelling to any europe countries, ielts is most preffered.

confidence is the main key responsible for any test to be successfull!

Thankyou, Good luck for everything ahead :)

when should i commence my preparation for gre?

Shraya Singh 13th Dec, 2018

Hello,

Preparing for GRE takes from around 3-6 months depending upon the degree of required knowledge you already possess as well as well as the type of preparation which you are opting for.

For most Indian students who have studied math till class 12, the Quant section is easy to prepare for and only requires specific revision and practice. This usually takes around 1 month if you plan on studying 1-2 hours per day.

The Verbal section usually requires a greater amount of preparation, especially while going through the vast recommended vocabulary for GRE. This may vary depending upon your proficiency in English and your verbal abilities. The best way to begin preparation for the verbal section is to give the preliminary vocab test provided at the beginning of 'Word Power Made Easy' by Norman Lewis.

Preparation time for self study (2-3 hours a day) would take around 3-8 months, depending upon your level. On the other hand, coaching classes offer 3 month programs as well as 1 month preparation programs for GRE preparation.
