But in other ways it can be harder. Being alone and/or indoors for extended periods of time can feel isolating, and the situation that has given rise to the social distancing causes anxiety for many of us.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">My plan this week was to write a post on how to create an in-person study group, but since that’s not possible (nor a good idea) at the present date, I’ve decided to share ideas for how you can create an </span><b>online </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">GRE study group. </span></p> <p><span id="more-12781"></span></p> <h3><b>GRE Online Study Group Step 1: Find fellow GRE takers</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">First, you want to find people who are taking the GRE soon, too. If you’ve taken a course, reach out to your fellow students. This is the most natural place to start, and it makes sense, too, because you likely already know each other somewhat. You’re also probably in the same time zone, or at least time zones that are amenable to live meeting. If you don’t have their contact information, ask your instructor for it.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Or try social media. Post on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter asking if anyone is studying for the GRE and wants to form a study group. So many people are preparing for this test at a given time that I suspect you will find at least a couple of takers. If those people then post on their own accounts, you can assemble a group of four to five people, which is a nice size study group (more on that below). </span></p> <h3><b>GRE Online Study Group Step 2: Find a platform to use and a mutually agreeable time</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I suggest Google Hangouts to start because 4-6 of you can sign in, see each other on video, and meet for free. There may be other platforms out there, but this one is the one that I know will work for you and is affordable. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For screen sharing, you are also able to share your screen in Google Hangouts, but you won’t be able to share a whiteboard on which you can all write. For this you can use another Google app—either Google Docs or Google Slides—in a separate window that everyone has access to. This way you’re seeing each other on video but also can all watch as one person writes on the screen. (I swear I’m not pushing Google for any reason other than that it’s what I’ve used. If you have other platforms that you recommend or that work better, please share in the comments!)</span></p> <h3><b>GRE Online Study Group Step 3: Create a group of the right size—I suggest 4-5 people</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Since you’ll need to find a mutually agreeable time to meet regularly—either several times per week or weekly, depending on your needs—what you </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">don’t </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">want to do is have so many people join your group that it’s impossible to calendar your meetings. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Having a group of more than five people, I find, tends to lead to problems. It becomes challenging to coordinate schedules, and also, it becomes difficult for everyone to have adequate time to share. On the other hand, a study group of three can feel too small to be ideal—if two people are unable to attend for any reason, the third is left stranded. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For these reasons, I suggest a group of four to five people. If more people than this express interest, the additional people can form a second group. Then, if the groups ever dwindle, you can combine them.</span></p> <h3><b>GRE Online Study Group Step 4: Create an agenda and leadership calendar for your meetings</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is best for your study meetings to have some structure. I recommend something like the following: </span></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">10-20 minutes: Share/discuss challenging questions from homework</span></li> <li>45 minutes: Do a timed practice set together (separately, working on your own, but the same set at the same time) and review</li> <li>15 minutes: Do a round robin sharing important takeaways from the session</li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Next, I would assign one person to be the leader/facilitator each week. This person’s task will be to keep things going as planned and bring the group back to focus if attention drifts off topic. It’s good to rotate the leader/facilitator role so that responsibility is spread out across the group. If people in the group have a shared sense of responsibility to and for the group, they’re/you’re more likely to take it seriously—which means, at the most basic level, to show up consistently and reliably. </span></p> <h3><b>A final tip</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Finally, a benefit of a study group is that you can help each other stay calm. The GRE is an anxiety-producing test, and in this time of plenty of other reasons to be anxious, it can be especially rough. Consider having one person at each meeting share something that calms them—either a practice (like a meditation app or recording), a quote, a poem, or a trick for during the test or while studying. </span></p> <p><strong>RELATED: </strong><a href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/gre/blog/using-the-computer-to-your-advantage-on-the-gre/">Using the Computer to Your Advantage on the GRE</a></p> <p><b><i>Don’t forget that you can attend the first session of any of our online or in-person GRE courses absolutely free.

I’ll start by just sharing what </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">I </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">see, and note that this is </span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">just my</span></span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> experience: most students go up 5-8 points with study. That said, there are also students who go up 15 points, so I don’t mean the 5-8 to be read as a cap or threshold.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now that that’s out of the way, I’ll state the obvious, which is that every person is different. So many factors play into this question, including where you start, how much you study, and how you study. But since you already know that, I want to unpack each of these in order to answer the question more specifically to </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">you</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p> <p><span id="more-12761"></span></p> <h3><b>GRE Score Factor #1: Where’s your starting point?</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s easier to gain points from a lower starting point than from a higher starting point. In other words, it’s going to be tougher for a person to move from 160 to 170 than for a person to move from 150 to 160. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can think of it this way: When you’re starting from a lower score, there are many more opportunities for you to grab points—you can brush up on content (for example, algebra or geometry) </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">and </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">you can learn GRE test strategies. Once you recall the Pythagorean Theorem and rules about special triangles, however, you can’t do it again—there’s only so much math content you can review and relearn in order to increase your score. The closer you get to a perfect score, the fewer paths to get there.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Plus, people scoring over 160 tend to be missing </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">harder questions. </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">These questions are hard because they’re designed to be hard—significant research has gone into making them difficult to answer correctly. Once you’re inching up to the 95th+ percentile, you’re having to work at the highest level to gain even a single point. </span></p> <p><b><i>Takeaway: It’s easier to gain points from a lower starting point than from a higher one. </i></b></p> <h3><b>GRE Score Factor #2: How much do you study?</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I’ve come across a rule of thumb that for every five point score gain, you need to study 40 hours. Under this formula, for a ten point gain, you’d want to study 80 hours, and so forth. I don’t feel comfortable endorsing this formula given how widely circumstances and starting points vary from person to person, but I </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">do</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> agree that it’s important to expect to have to put in the work to gain points. </span><b>Very few people study for a single weekend and get a ten point increase.</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">My own story—which I share because I think it’s pretty common—is that I studied for two months, took it, didn’t do as well as I hoped, studied for two more</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">months, took it again, and did. This was starting with a Quant score in the mid 150s and a Verbal score in the low 160s. I reached a score of 164 Quant, 168 Verbal. So I gained about 18 points—not shabby, right? But also, it took me four months of regular study—not daily study, but at least four days a week for two hours or so a day, and then, at the end, more than that: about four hours daily during the final couple of weeks.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In terms of how much studying you should plan to do per day, most of the students I teach have jobs. They fit their study around their jobs and lives, so that means studying in the mornings, at lunch, or in the evenings. This is fine! You don’t have to quit your job, stop having a social or family life, or sacrifice a goat in order to do well on the GRE. Small bouts of study add up—20 minutes in the morning, 30 minutes at lunch, and 40 minutes when you get home from work add up to an hour and a half! That’s a very respectable amount of studying for one day.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">No one’s situation is ideal, but if you have the option, I recommend starting to study four months before you absolutely must take the GRE in order to give yourself plenty of time to improve </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">if </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">you need it. </span></p> <p><b><i>Takeaway: The longer the period of time you have to study the better, and regular, small increments add up.</i></b></p> <h3><b>GRE Score Factor #3: How do you study?</b></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">How you study matters: Twenty minutes of </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">great </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">study is better than two hours of mediocre study. We could spend hours unpacking what good study habits are (and do, in our tutoring sessions, if you want to go deeper into this), but as a rule of thumb, I’ll say: </span><b>active beats passive. </b></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Doing a problem is better than reading about how to do a problem. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Retrying a problem is better than reading a solution. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Reviewing a problem and writing down your takeaways from it is better than reviewing a problem and </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">not </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">writing down your takeaways. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Get the idea?</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You want your brain to be actively working to make sense of the material—just like when you work out physically, you want to </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">feel </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">the struggle. If you aren’t feeling it, you probably aren’t studying well. But if you’re feeling the burn mentally? That’s a good sign you’re doing it right. </span></p> <p><b><i>Takeaway: Good study means actively struggling with material rather than passively reading.</i></b></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In sum, to maximize your score increase, you are smart to: 1) Plan to stick with GRE study for a while—months, if possible, 2) Do it regularly in small bursts that fit your schedule, and 3) Make sure your brain is flexing when you </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">are </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">studying (you should feel it working hard). </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Then email me about your 20-point gain—I’d love to hear! </span></p> <p><strong>RELATED: </strong><a href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/gre/blog/how-to-take-a-gre-practice-test/">How to Take a GRE Practice Test</a></p> <p><b><i>Don’t forget that you can attend the first session of any of our online or in-person GRE courses absolutely free.

Some people spread their studying out over time, taking 10-15 minutes every few days and studying for several months or more. Others condense their studying into a more limited amount of time. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When I was first studying for the GRE, I was lucky enough to get to doing it during six weeks I had off over a summer. During this time, I mainly spent my time doing two things: learning vocabulary (using flashcards) and taking practice tests. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I spent so much time studying for the GRE during this time that I began to have </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">dreams</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> about exponents, ratios, and number properties! Sometimes they were nightmares, in which I imagined myself confronted with an unsolvable problem, filled with a growing sense of dread as the clock counted down to 0. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Other times, however, I had dreams that filled me with a sense of confidence. In these dreams, I was confronted with a problem, and, even before I knew what the answer to the problem was, I knew something even more important: I understood </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">what the problem was asking me to show</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span><span id="more-10265"></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This feeling became a key in reality, as well. And it can be for you, too. What you have to understand is that </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">every version of the GRE consists of a well-distributed series of questions on a limited range of topics</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">. That is, every GRE will have a handful of percents problems, a handful of triangle problems, a handful of exponent problems, and so on. Moreover, you can rest assured that, by the time you’ve finished studying for the GRE, you will have encountered </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">every </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">problem type that there is on the test. No trigonometry, no calculus! Just basic high school math that needs to be applied using good reasoning and logic. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the single most important benchmarks of success on the test is if you can begin to identify each problem for what </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">kind</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> of problem it is—that is, if, before even putting pen to paper, you can decipher what the question is trying to get you to show that you know. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">How do you do this? It’s actually quite easy. The more practice problems you encounter while studying for the GRE, the more you’ll realize that certain question formats typically test the same thing. For instance, questions with exponents and “greater than 0” signs are usually testing your understanding of number properties. Questions with different people’s ages (e.g., Betty is 5 years older than Jim will be in 12 years) are usually testing your ability to apply systems of equations. Etc. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Once you have identified what type of problem you’re looking at, the number of possible approaches or strategies that you would have to employ in order to solve the problem becomes infinitely smaller. You might say to yourself, “Oh, this problem is asking me to show that I understand that raising negative numbers to odd powers always yields another negative.” Or: “This problem is asking me to show that I understand the relationship between ratios and percents: they’re both just parts of a whole.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In other words, the better you can get at identifying the problem </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">type</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, even before you begin solving it, the better, faster, and less prone to error you will be when you start employing your math or algebra.
