GRE test session stamina

by franalej Mon Nov 04, 2013 10:45 pm

Hi, could you give an advice on what to do during the last week before the GRE test session in order to be give 100% during the whole GRE test session of almost 4 hours?

Practice tests! There's no replacement for just having taken enough tests to know what it's like! : )

P.S. I realize this is a short answer, but it's the truth. The only way to build full-on test stamina is to take full-on tests!

Thanks Tommy for the advice. What would you recommend doing the previous 48 hours before the test session?

Dancing? Eat good food? Hug your loved ones?

Honestly, I advise taking a test-break for the 48 hours before a test, so just relax, and rock a few questions to keep your head in the game. On the day of the test, read an RC passage and maybe do a DI question or two to get ready for the hard stuff that's coming. Good luck!
