If you practice the quant questions using a different calculator, you will not get used to the actual GRE calculator, which has a set number of functions. You may already know that GRE doesn’t allow any outside calculators and only provides an on-screen calculator already embedded in the GRE user interface. Using a physical calculator or your phone calculatorĪs I said initially, familiarity with the test and the tools is a critical component of scoring well. If you see that you are taking longer than the allotted time, you need to work on your pace or skip the question and return to it later. Hence, always use the timer and pay attention to the time it takes you to go through a section. Since paper mocks don’t work the same way an online interface does, it is easy to overlook the time factor when practising.
However, many students choose to disable the timer or to solve practice tests in paper form. Most online practice tests already have a time counter, so it shouldn’t be a problem.
If you don’t abide by the same time restrictions on the actual exam, you will be caught off guard by how quickly the time passes, especially when you get stuck on a question. Therefore, you need to train yourself to answer correctly in the little time that you have. You have, on average, less than 2 minutes to read through a question and then work out the answer. One of the major mistakes I see students make is not timing themselves when solving mock tests. Not timing yourself or giving exact time for each section Taking practice tests late in the evening or the nightġ. Taking the exam in a distracting environment Taking an exam without the GRE experimental section Not taking the exam in one sitting or over a few days Speaking out loud to yourself while reading or organizing your thoughts Using external help such as cheat sheets, formulas, google help Using a physical calculator or your phone calculator Not timing yourself or giving exact time for each section
