For those of you who have studied for it, do you find questions on the practice tests to appear exactly the same on the exam? I feel as though I may be too ignorant for such a sophisticated exam.

Go to your nearest bookstore and browse through the GRE prep books. Spend about an hour going through them, and skimming the chapters. Pick the best one you can find. Then do each section one/day or one/week (depending on how much time you have). Take the practice tests EXACTLY like you would the real test; in solitude, timed, even the same time of day if you can. Good luck.

Get the prep books but also get the software so you can take practice tests on your computer. The GRE is computerized now - it even does this nasty little trick where if you get a question right it gives you a harder question! Prep books can't replicate that, but computer practice programs can.
You'll need to spend A LOT of time studying. Like the other poster said, if you're not ready yet, don't waste your money.
I spent a good three months studying for the GRE and I still had to take it a second time. It is a really tough test. The math section isn't bad; it's actually easier than SAT math. But the verbal is killer. I struggled with the GRE verbal even though I got an 800 on the SAT verbal in high school. But the three months of studying, the dozens of practice tests, and the second try paid off in the end - I scored 2320.

Study GRE prep books and a dictionary. Maybe a little Latin to help you define unknown words. If you aren't ready, don't take the exam since your scores are averaged if you take it more than once.

Yes. Make sure you read the literature attached to part B before you begin with A. Also, prepare a report derived from the material in section D.

I used to grade those. If you do not feel ready for it don't waste your time and money until you are better prepared.
