The tactics in this post apply to all section of the test.
Tactics 1
Know what to expect.
by the time you have finished with this prepration program, you will be familiar with all the kinds of questions that are going to appear on the GRE. you should also be aware of how long it is going to take. there are seven section on the test. each one is half an hour long. and there is supposed to be a then minute break midway through the section
Tactics 2
Memorize the direction for each type of question
these don't change. the test time you would spend reading the direction can be better spent answering the question.
Tactics 3
don't get bogged down on any one question.
by the time you get to the actual GRE, You should have a fair idea of how much time to spend on each question. if a question is taking too long , guess and go on to the next question. this is no time to show the world that you can stick to a job no matter how long it takes. all the machine that grades the test will notice that the blank spaces on your answer sheet. how ever, before you do move on, circle the question so that you can locate it quickly if you have time to come back to it at the end.
Tactics 4
On the other hand don't rush.
since your score will depend on how many correct answer you give within a definite period of time, speed and accuracy both count. don't fall into common errors born of haste.read all the answer choice, not just some. make sure you have answering the question asked and not one it may have reminded you of or one you thought was going to be asked. underline key words like "not" and "except" to make sure that you do not end up trying to answer the exact opposite of the question asked.
tactics 5
Eliminate as many wrong answers as you can.
deciding between two choices is easier than deciding among five. even i f you have to guess, every answer you eliminate improves your chances of questing correctly.
tactics 6
chance answer only if you have a reason for doing so.
it's usually best not to change based on a hunch or a whim.
Tactics 7
Answer every question.
there is no penalty for incorrect answers on the general test . it's folly to leave any question unanswered
