When preparing for the GRE, one of the best ways to stay motivated is to enjoy what you’re doing. If you don’t find pleasure in your studies, it becomes much harder to stay focused and motivated to reach your goals. On the flip side, if you enjoy your prep, you’re more likely to put in the effort needed to reach your target score.

If you’re struggling to enjoy studying, try finding ways to make it more fun. For example, turn practice questions into a game—challenge yourself to beat your previous accuracy scores or see how quickly you can identify tricky answer choices. You can also treat Reading Comprehension passages like puzzles or stories to solve, rather than just another task to check off.

By adopting a mindset that GRE prep can be enjoyable and finding ways to make it fun, you’ll not only stay motivated but also improve your chances of success. Enjoying the process makes studying feel less like a burden and more like a rewarding challenge.
