1 month before-every day. I suck at math and don't really know any of the vocab. So I'd be doing extensive studying for the month. What do you think?

A few years ago I had a similar situation.

I had an opportunity to get into a really good MS program, but I would need good GRE scores. The trouble was, I only had a month or so to study, and I had never done much above average on standardized college entrance tests (then again, I had never studied for them). At this stage, average was not really going to work for me.

I studied hard for a month.

1. I bought a couple of study guide books and did all of the assignments in them.

2. I worked on specifically memorizing vocabulary I did not know. I would try to find a sentence or some other mechanism to remember what the word meant.

3. I needed a high math score, and I did all of the math problems over and over again, making sure I understood every answer.

4. I took loads of practice tests under test conditions, and then studied my answers and the correct answers carefully.

5. I worked in this every day, as though there was no tomorrow.

6. At the time the writing requirement was new and there was no guide book on it, so I did not study for that.

... and I did well enough to get in. But it was work.

However, nothing I did was magic, you can do it too.

1 month is enough. Some people think studying helps in getting a higher score. It does but more than a month is overdoing it.

finding on what score you desire to get, yet sure, in case you put in adequate hours, 2 months might nicely be adequate time. in case you in elementary terms learn for 5 hours a week, then it probably should not be adequate time. you ought to learn a minimum of 10 hours a week while you're shooting for a severe score.
