It's been two months, that I gave my GRE exam. My tips,are 1) Never think about the admission process. Concentrate wholly on the GRE exam. Only get some list of 4 colleges, where you would like to send the GRE score. But dont waste too much time on it. Get some advice from others on this. 2) Get GRE cd's and practice. Dont' practise on paper. Even if you have not covered the entire word list or not completed the maths' part, keep taking GRE exams on cd. It will make you understand, how much you need to improve upon. Infact, I would suggest that you first give a GRE exam on cd and then start studying for GRE. 3) Never underestimate, the analytical part. A book is available with essays on all the given topics. Go through it or atleast give some thought on each topic. 4) It's very important to get a good GRE score, but many universities, have a higher deadline for Quanitative score then Vocabulary score. EG: In most top universities, minimum vocab score required is about 550-600. But minimum quantitative score need is more then 700. 5) Aim for a score of 800 in quantitative. 6) Vocabulary is important and you should do well, but don't get caught up on it.
