Why it's hard

GRE Verbal vocabulary draws from a narrow but deep pool of 'GRE words' that don't appear in everyday reading. Quant is easier than the SAT in content but uses 'quantitative comparison' question types most students haven't seen.

How Fennie helps

Fennie uses spaced repetition on the high-yield GRE vocabulary set and drills quantitative-comparison heuristics until you stop wasting time computing both columns.

A sample week of prep

  1. 01Mon — Vocabulary spaced repetition (40 words)
  2. 02Tue — Text completion and sentence equivalence
  3. 03Wed — Quant: ratios, percents, statistics
  4. 04Thu — Quantitative comparison strategy drills
  5. 05Fri — Reading comprehension on dense passages
  6. 06Sat — Full timed practice section
  7. 07Sun — Review and regenerate plan

Sample only — your real Fennie plan adapts daily based on what you got wrong, what you ignored, and how close you are to test day.

Frequently asked questions

Is the GRE still required for grad school?

Increasingly optional, especially for STEM PhDs since 2020. Check each program; some still require, some won't accept.

How is the GRE adaptive?

Section-level adaptive — your first Verbal section's performance determines whether the second is harder or easier (and the harder set has a higher score ceiling).

How long should I prep?

Most successful candidates put in 10-12 weeks at 8-12 hours/week. Less if you're already strong on one section.
