Study tips for Graduate Record Examination
- Always include a sentence context for vocab cards — definitions alone are hard to recall under test pressure.
- Create quant cards for formulas you derive incorrectly in practice, not every formula in the book.
- Use the Basic Q&A template for quant and the Concept Breakdown template for vocab with nuance.
