When Do I Take the GRE ?

GRE is an exam, as most other exams, based on the simple understanding of a strategy. What is the strategy? Well that’s the difficult part. It is to be understood, very clearly, that the GRE is not a method of improving your vocabulary. An improved Vocabulary can at best be called a fruitful side- effect. It is also not an exam which pushes your mathematical skills to the limit,well it hardly manages to pull it.

So once this is understood it is easy to form a certain plan, a time-line by which a schedule to prepare is made.Considering a person’s comfort level with how much he/she knows the date must be booked. There’s no point making ETS richer by $40, the fee for postponement by booking a date in haste.they are rich enough for crying out loud. Anyway to the point, for a person who starts coaching/preparation(“whatever” it’s called ) in December the previous year, June would be an ideal time to take the GRE, preferably the last week. You might want to stretch it until august ,after which you might as well joining your coaching again for you would have forgotten half the words.Also this is the ideal time for people applying to the Fall semester of the next year.For those interested in the spring semester a date in January or through February would suffice. Though not practiced much, as with all good schemes, it is advisable to take the gre after the toefl,maybe a week or ten days later. It helps relax the nerves, get acquainted with the “system” .
