The most important thing is that you become familiar with the format of the questions - I suspect from the way you wrote this that you are NOT from North America, and therefore may be unfamiliar with multiple choice exams overall. You don't want to spend your exam time learning how to answer multiple choice questions.
Since I will also assume that you are not in a location where "prep" classes are available for the GRE (I'm not convinced they are all that helpful anyway), the most useful thing you can do is to get a book from one of the major companies which do this - Kaplan's, Princeton Review, Barron's - and become familiar with the types of question you might expect. You may also want to find a vocabulary list and review it and, if it has been a while since you have taken a math course, go over the basic formulae for algebra, geometry, trigonometry, etc.
Don't overstudy. Many people look at these exams as if they were achievement tests and they need to be familiar with all of the correct questions and answers. The fact is that they are aptitude tests, which measure your skills at approaching new problems, and no matter how much you study, you cannot "learn the material" for this exam. The best you can do is to know what types of questions to expect and to brush up on your basic skills so that you can use them to answer the questions. And don't forget your common sense. Sometimes you won't know the answer and you won't know the proper procedure for finding the answer, but you will be able to figure out which of the answers must be the correct one by using logic.
