The first thing you need to remember is that to prepare well for GRE, IELTS/TOEFL. You do not need to panic. To develop a careful understanding of your planning, you need to first determine where you need to concentrate first. Set aside at the beginning just 15 minutes a day for your training.

You might get to know a lot of your peers with excellent marks who cleared GRE. Don't get bullied with their score. Set your own target. Go with all of your planning to it.

Reading gives you wings to your practice level. The best way to prepare for Analytical Writing and Verbal Reasoning is through reading all sorts of things.

If you write daily, you'll drastically increase your thinking power and your creative ability over time. The daily writing session will encourage you to think critically and use vocabulary that you learned while reading books and materials. If you're naturally good at numbers, then you'll get through Quantitative Aptitude in GRE with little practice. Spend 2 hours daily with 6 months in hand to prepare. Start writing down one or two life experiences in minute details every single day.
