If you've ever taken the SAT (not ACT), then you are already familiar with the format of the GRE. There are three portions: Language, Quantitative (Math), and Writing. The language portion includes word analogies, definitions, and word choice. If this is your weakness, I suggest buying any standardized test prep book and studying the vocabulary there. Also, practicing the word analogy portion through pre-testing helps you to understand the *kind* of analogies the test will present you with. For the math portion, there really isn't much beyond what you would find in a high school Algebra 2 class and a little geometry. If this is your weakness, brush up on the common formulas and math "rules" that you find in algebra or geometry. The test is designed to be taken without a calculator, so you just really need to know these basic rules and you will be fine. For the written portion, you actually do have to write. You will be given two questions (mostly opinon or persuasive), and you will need to formulate a cohesive response. Here, think very basic 5 paragraph essay. Try to work on organizing your thoughts before you write.

Grading: You only receive points for questions answered correctly. You are also minorly penalized for incorrect answers. Statistically, in this test you are better off to answer than to leave blank.

Study materials: When you register for the GRE, they should send you a CD with study material on it. This is a surprisingly good resource for review. Also, you might buy any GRE study booklet to help you. Don't try to overwhelm youself with information at the last minute, though. That's just my suggestion.

Hope this helps. Good luck.
