Go to the Official GRE Guide andgo through the Quant section even if you have already done it. Don't familiarise yourself with question types or memorise formulae. It won't help. It's the applicability value of the concepts that you go through and how can you use it to solve the next question. You may be overlooking conceptual learning and you may be memorising things. It is easier said than done. You need someone to make you go though the Quant section in a different way. There is a lot of unlearning involved and then things will fall in place. For the verbal section, go through different types of reading material. Something that you have not done before. Familiar learning material solidifies ways of learning and scores stagnate. Start afresh and focus on contextual language. Read a lot. read less

I have just completed B.Tech second year. I want to plan about learning GRE. Which time would be the best for me to start preparing myself for GRE?
Hi This is the right time to start your GRE prep since the preparation will take quite sometime and the application procedure following the test is also lengthy.
