Hello all, I sat for my GRE General Test on October 10th, 2022 and I'm here to share my experience with the entire process that I went through leading up to my test days and on test day itself. My GRE score is 323 (Q167, V156) with a 5.0 in AWA and I am quite satisfied with it even though I realise that there were certain areas where I could have done so much better, specially in Verbal. I'm going to give a sectional breakdown on what I encountered on the test so that it is easier to understand exactly what to expect on test day.

Quant: My first section on Quant was Section 3, and I felt like the difficulty level overall was pretty balanced out. There were a few hard questions specially among the Quantitative Comparison questions and I almost felt like the hard and easy ones came alternatively. I would not say that the hard questions were difficult to grasp or based on unknown concepts but the questions were a little trickier and they were more or less focused on testing your imaginative skills or how well you can frame the question in the simplest terms in as less time as possible. They were mostly geometry, work/rate and arithmetic problems so more focus on these three topics could give you a higher edge than most on Quant.
Quant Section 5 was a tougher ride. The section wasn't devoid of easy problems but the number of hard problems were a lot more, around 14 out of the 20. Again, these were based on topics of geometry and distance/speed. I encountered around 2 probability problems out of the entire 40 questions in quant and they were also basic probability concepts so make sure not to spend too much time on that topic. I found the Data Interpretation problems to be quite straightforward, contrary to the kind of problems I had practised from Kaplan's online resources. I'd really recommend learning and revising the basic formulas and equations to tackle the quant section faster and to simplify the problems, specially the geometry ones in terms of more familiar figures. Be sure to make intelligent guesses in some questions because you might find that the time is not enough at the end of the section.
To be honest, I had read a lot of reviews from other users about how tough the GRE Quant Section has gradually become over the years but personally, I found it to be only a little harder than the questions in the GRE Official Guides. It was easier than what I was used to in Kaplan and overall, the difficulty level was similar to the ETS Practice Tests. Revise your Geometry and Arithmetic skills a lot and I am going to include the resources from where I had practised, a bit later in this post.

Verbal: Section 2 was my first Verbal section and one thing I noticed was how none of the intense vocabulary sessions I had before test day ever came into play really. Text Completion questions included the basic words we use on a daily basis in formal conversations for example. But it's always good to have a strong grasp on vocabulary for the confidence factor on test day so go for it. However, I would not recommend stressing over how many words you need to learn because you would hardly encounter 2-3 of that entire advanced 3000 word list you learned. To learn vocabulary more efficiently, I suggest using them in conversations with the people around you as frequently as you can though I can only imagine how they would react if you threw in something like "lagniappe" or "vicissitudes" in the middle of a conversation. The RC questions were however a little hard to deal with. Not all the choices appeared similar to one another so I'd suggest going with the elimination tactic till you come to the best 2-3 options that might sound logical enough. Go for the one that the passage warrants for the best. The passage will have the entire information you need to answer the questions so read it really, really carefully. Sentence Equivalence questions were a lot similar to TC because again, there was no need of advanced vocabulary, the pattern focused a lot more on understanding the context or tone of the sentences.
Section 4 and 6 Verbal were pretty similar to the previous section, the difficulty level was average and again, they did not ask for knowledge on an extremely rich vocabulary. I came across 2 long passages in each of these sections though and to tackle long passages, I really recommend practise reading books and taking notes. I don't know which one was the experimental section but of course that doesn't matter while you're in the middle of the test.

Analytical Writing: Take sufficient time to plan out your response, make a note of the ideas and follow the instructions in the question panel because they really give you an idea of what you should be including in your response and it makes planning it out easier. For the Issue task, focus on your thoughts about the topic and organize them really well. I had a good time writing on both topics because I did not need to plan much beforehand and just went with the flow. I made sure to leave around 4 minutes at the end for revision of each of the tasks and made necessary corrections wherever I felt like I needed them. In this regard, I would say practising from the ETS Sample Essay topics really helped. The Argument task was a little harder to deal with because I found the argument to be logical mostly and it was difficult to sort out the flaws in it.. but reading the task multiple times and analysing it helped to reveal the flaws gradually. Taking a note of the possible flaws at the top of the writing panel really helps. Make sure to delete the points once you're done with the essay though.

Resources I used: I took serious preparations for the test for 6 months and here is a list of the amazing resources that I used. Please make sure to check them out and use them as efficiently as you can.
1. ETS: The Official Guides are everything. They helped me understand the test pattern more, I exhaustively worked on each and every problem throughout the book and pretty much as everyone says, the real test follows the exact pattern, the difficulty level of the test is much closer to that of the questions in the books than any other resources. I had given one of the free Powerprep tests from their website in the beginning of my preparations and my score was 305 (Q154, V151). That helped me gauge my strengths and weaknesses really well so I'd recommend giving a diagnostic test on their website to have a better depth on how you'd score with little to no preparation in the actual test. I practised the essays from the free Issue and Argument topic pool pdfs from their website. You can find them under the Analytical Writing section of the "Prepare for the Test" Section in the website.
2. GRE Prep Club: This forum was an immense help to me and I'm not exaggerating in any way. The Master Directory organised by Carcass helped me a ton because of the quality of the questions and I honestly recommend practising from the directory to crush the test on test day. They helped me revise my concepts better and put them to use, specially in Quant. The tests here are quite close to the real deal as well and the difficulty level is at par. It's 100% worth buying the tests though personally speaking, I made use of the holidays when they give the tests out for free lol. I followed their posts on tackling long RC passages in Verbal, watched a few of their videos on Youtube 2 weeks before test day and reviewed my tests here as much as I could.
3. Kaplan Online Resources: I accessed my online resources after getting an ebook version of Kaplan Test Prep Plus and registering it on their website and I gave their mock tests, exhausted their entire question bank on Quant and followed along some of their videos. Their quant sections are harder than what I actually came across on the real test but I think they're of high quality and practising them can really help you strengthen your concepts. I liked practising harder problems so Kaplan was a really good fit for me. I did not however, use them for Verbal because I found the ETS sources to be sufficient enough.
4. Princeton Review Online Resources: I accessed Princeton Review's online resources the same way as Kaplan and I used them exclusively for the mock tests. The quant sections were easier and the verbal sections were average. The difficulty level did not match that of the real test in either section but the more mock tests I gave, the better I felt so I pretty much exhausted their tests as well.

Other Resources: I had some unconventional ways of preparing for the test so I wouldn't really recommend everyone to follow them as well. I used Manhattan Prep's 5lb. Book of GRE Practice Problems to practise my concepts on topics that I had a hard time with, for example, Normal Distribution and Standard Deviation. These topics do not appear frequently on the test, in fact I encountered just one SD problem in each section so don't stress a lot over these topics. I wanted to improve my skills on Probability and Counting methods as well so I went a bit overboard here and practised from GMAT resources (GMAT Prep Club specifically). But the real test does not emulate GMAT's question type from these topics and a pretty solid grasp on the concepts would do it for the GRE, so unless you want a challenge I don't see the necessity of practising from the GMAT resources, specially on these topics. For vocabulary, I would really suggest studying from Barron's GRE Book, Magoosh's GRE Vocab e-book and the vocabulary lists from the Master Directory in this forum as well. If you want to learn advanced words just like me, you can use Manhattan Prep's 500 Advanced Vocabulary Flashcards. I also studied Merriam Webster's Vocabulary Builder book a few weeks before the test though I can't say I found much use of it.

What I'd recommend doing: Give as many mock tests as you can. And review, review, review. I cannot emphasize enough on how important it is to review each and every one of your mock tests as much as possible. Maintain an error log or a workbook to record your errors and in this regard as well, I would say this forum made it easier for me because of the error log feature. Make sure to give the tests under strict testing conditions similar to what you would experience on test day. I would also suggest giving the Powerprep tests at the beginning and at the end of your preparations to understand what to expect on test day and what your official score could be close to. With that being said, do not stress over the test and honestly I found the entire process to be quite fun so I hope you can enjoy it as well. While it is very probable and inevitable that the closer the test day gets, the more anxious you would feel, try to take time out to do more relaxing activities, hang out with your social groups and have confidence in yourself and your capabilities. Confidence is a massive key on test day.
And lastly, do not forget to get a sound sleep before test day!

On an ending note, I would like to thank each and everyone in this forum because I cannot stress enough on how much this forum has helped me achieve my score. Thank you everyone, the experts, the other users who made this forum such an interactive educational space because it helped me a lot during my preparations. Thank you.
Since I'm done with the test, I don't think I'd come here just as often as I used to but please if you have any questions, leave them below. I'll try my best to answer them all. Good luck!

Regards.
