Once again, this may sound obvious, but it is worth emphasizing. If you lose track of concepts you have already learned as you move through GRE Quant, you will struggle to answer questions efficiently on test day.

To prevent this, you need a deliberate approach to review. Regularly revisit your notes or flashcards for earlier topics. Set aside time for mixed-topic problem sets, which not only reinforce your understanding but also mimic the variety you will encounter on the actual exam.

Consider this scenario. It has been several weeks since you last studied linear and quadratic equations or exponents. Without review, those skills may fade. By completing a mixed problem set that includes these topics, you can quickly see whether the concepts remain clear or if gaps have developed. The results will tell you exactly where to focus your efforts before moving forward.

You can apply this process to every stage of your study plan. Review past material. Test your retention through targeted problem sets. Address weaknesses as they appear. By making this cycle part of your preparation, you ensure that all GRE Quant topics remain sharp in your mind. This will allow you to approach each question with accuracy, speed, and confidence when it matters most.
