-Once you figure out which test you need to take, get your study materials. Some people take the Kaplan course over the summer or fall. This course is designed to teach students the ins and outs of the GREs and help them develop strategies for taking the test. However, the program is costly and time consuming. If this is not for you, go to your nearest bookstore and check out the test book section. Many students have recommended the Princeton Review and and Kaplan GRE study guides. These books offer strategies, tell you the setup of the exam, have practice tests and many even include interactive cds that follow along with the book.
-Sign up for the GREs ahead of time because spots fill up fast. Make sure you choose a time that you are confident you will be ready by. You can do this on [[www.gre.org]], but be careful because if you cancel your test you have to pay an extra $40! It's already $115 to take the test, so make sure you're prepared for it. You can re-take the GREs but you have to pay every time, and many professors say that unless you do some intense studying, most people do not improve their score by much. So make sure you are prepared as much as possible and make your first time your last.
