Practice
There’s no such thing as too much practice. When you have practiced the techniques for each of the ques-

tion types until you feel confident using them and you are answering the questions correctly, then you have
practiced enough. Until then, keep working!
You are ready now to try your hand at some more practice GRE questions. You might want to keep the
list of strategies handy as you take the sample test, so you can practice them on difficult questions.
There are 20 questions of each type. Set your timer, estimating a minute per question. Keep in mind,
however, that reading comprehension and sentence completion questions typically take longer to answer than
antonym or analogy questions. Analyzing your average time per question on the four types of questions will
give you valuable information that will help you pace yourself on the actual GRE.
