After you take a baseline practice exam, it will be time to get to work on the targeted study and focused practice that is fundamental to GRE success.

At this point, your job is to master the material that appears on the GRE. Forget about taking additional practice tests until your GRE prep is nearly complete. Taking more practice tests before you master the material is a poor use of your time and a waste of the limited number of official practice tests available to you.

If you have not mastered functions, sequences, probability, and geometry, you can predict — without spending two hours on a full-length practice GRE — that you probably won’t fare well answering questions involving those concepts. Instead of using up precious practice exams when they aren’t of the greatest use to you, spend your time training. That is how you will make significant gains in your knowledge and skill, not taking more tests.
