Hello Aspirant,
Hope your doing good!
Keeping all the points that we have mentioned in mind; the GRE preparation will take around 4 weeks to 20 weeks. If you include the mock tests that you would need to take , the preparation time can go from a minimum of 6 weeks to a maximum of 24 weeks.
That’s a wide range, and it also doesn’t account for the different ways in which people prepare for the GRE. People may take practice tests, read up on the different exam sections, skim old notes from school, buy and read a GRE prep book,
Below are estimates of approximately how many hours you need to study in order to raise your score by a certain number of points. These numbers indicate how much you need to study to raise your GRE score by that many points across BOTH sections. So, in 40 hours, you could raise your score for each section by about 2.5 points (5 points total).
5 points = 40 hours
10 points = 80 hours
20 points = 160 hours
30 points = 240 hours
hope this helps, for more such queries ping us below!
Thankyou, Good luck for everything ahead :)
Hello Prashant,
10-12 weeks of preparation should be enough for you to clear the exam successfully provided you have basic knowledge of English and quants.
I would suggest booking date before you start. Because unless you have a goal in mind, you would keep meandering around with your preparations without actually studying effectively.
Also, you will need to give around 10-12 full-length tests before the actual exam so make sure you have that much time before you book a date.
Good luck!
