Once you have resolved to Crack GRE and you set your goals clear that within a given span of time you are going to Ace this exam, you can go Online and zero down upon a GRE PREPARATION ONLINE trainer or pickup the trainer in your city (I suggest go ONLINE). BUT What brings you success? The same trainer, the same material BUT one student cracks GRE with ease scores 335 plus and the other attending the same set of lectures struggles for a 310 score. Let me answer this tricky question.

1. The first and the foremost thing is how you PLAN and how you EXECUTE that plan. Do you stick to your plan or do you procrastinate ? Does the party in tony disc entice you or the family function that makes you take a short break change your plan? Or are you juggling multiple assignments at a time? If any of this is true. DROP the thought of getting into that IVY League. It’s NOT FOR YOU.
Getting to that 99-percentile level needs immaculate planning and error free execution. NO Excuses please. So one needs to SIT with that GRE PREP material everyday and ensure that he or she spend at least 2 hrs.

2. How do you design the plan of action? Is it Verbal only, or Quant only or Both? Well GRE Quant is quite manageable or rather I must say can be self taught. Its only requires you have to fetch to a few books or material online/offline and turn a few chapters from the past that rejigs your school level math.
While GRE Verbal is a definite challenge as the especially if you are non-native. You need to invest more time, devise a strategy to complete the verbal part in such a fashion that you deliver your peak performance on the date on the exam. So get a mentor who gives you the recipe of success, one who helps you decode the GRE code, one who has championed the techniques of taming the most abstruse RC passages and the most convoluted arguments of Test completion and also the one who stands as an enabler rather than a bystander.
If you have understood this aspect, it will leave you with enough time to take on the rather more challenging section – GRE verbal. INVEST TIME ON GRE VERBAL so that you score High. This part needs Loads of preparation hence rationally distribute your time.

3. GRE PREPARATION involves a lot more than planning and preparation. Rather the most important aspect is taking REGULAR TESTS. Tests help you revisit your prep level at multiple intervals and undertake course correction wherever required.
Take timed ONLINE TESTS (strictly no pen and paper tests) that tests your ability to PACE and complete the questions within a predetermined time limit. Take Micro Level tests on SE,TC and RC, check your score and dig deep into places of improvement. At 'IVY GRE VERBAL' we provide more than 100 such tests (the most that any prep house offers). This is the key to success in GRE.
Before you take the final GRE go for 3-4 ETS tests (I recommend no other material), do some finetuning and then GO FOR The FINAL DASH.
