6 GRE Strategies That Do NOT Work (and What To Do Instead)

Описание: I’m Erika Tyler-John, a GRE instructor with a 339 GRE score, 10 years of teaching test prep, and more than 4 million YouTube views. I’ve worked with thousands of students, and I see the same GRE prep mistakes all the time.

If you’ve been studying hard but your GRE score isn’t improving, you might be using strategies that seem helpful but actually hold you back. In this video I go through 6 of the most common GRE strategies that don’t work and explain what you should do instead.

What you’ll see:
1. Gaming the algorithm and why it kills your GRE score potential
2. Using Verbal answer choices as hints instead of predicting your own answers
3. Solving Quant problems “by the book” instead of thinking critically
4. Bingeing on GRE practice questions instead of learning from each one
5. Practicing only with a timer and missing key GRE study foundations
6. Last-minute cramming and why it backfires on test day

These GRE study mistakes are common, but you can avoid them with the right approach.
