Practice Tests

Practice tests are one of the best ways to prepare for the actual GRE exam. Princeton Review uses software that does a great job on simulating the actual GRE exam.

When students launch a practice test, they will be asked how they want to time the exam – it is recommended that students select normal time, so they become comfortable taking the GRE exam in a timed environment.

Princeton Review offers 8 full-length GRE practice tests. On top of the 8 practice tests, students will also have access to math sections drills and verbal section drills.

Reports

Students will be able to see score reports for the practice tests they took. These score reports are very in-depth and will give students some useful insights into what they need to work on. Students will be able to see which questions they got right and wrong based on various GRE topics.

For example, if a student sees that they missed 4 questions about sentence equivalence, they can go back and complete the lesson on sentence equivalence to improve their score.

Students can also see various insights about how long they took to answer each kind of question, which question format they struggled the most on (multiple choice, all that apply, etc), and breakdowns on how they did on each part of the practice test (verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and analytical writing).
