One mistake that I see students frequently make is using multiple GRE Quant prep resources. Although the content tested on the GRE is remarkably predictable, there is variability in the way GRE prep courses teach this material, and there is variability in the material that these courses cover. You don’t want the added confusion of attempting to blend multiple approaches to learning GRE Quant. Instead, you want to find a resource that provides a one-stop shop for mastering GRE Quant. Just as importantly, you want to find a course that works for you. If you are switching between courses, stop and ask yourself why. Are the materials you have not effective for your learning style? Are the explanations not clear enough? Is the plan of study not well-organized? Are you missing smart analytics that can help you more efficiently uncover your weak areas?

If the GRE course you’re using isn’t working for you, change it! You don’t have to suffer with materials that aren’t helping you make a positive impact on your score. Almost all online self-study courses offer some sort of a free or low-cost trial. Try out something new. Just be sure not to bounce haphazardly from course to course.

With that in mind, you must formulate a realistic time frame when trying to increase your GRE Quant score.
