How to actually use your 14 days
One fast, weight-prioritised pass over what actually appears on the paper.
This 2-week plan gives you 14 days to work through 22 weighted GRE topics across 3 subjects — roughly 1.6 new topics a day at 6–8 hours of focused study. That pace is brisk but survivable if you protect your highest-weight subjects first.
GRE marks are not spread evenly across subjects. Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning, and Analytical Writing carry the heaviest weightage in recent papers, so this plan front-loads them — so they get your first and best hours, before fatigue sets in. Cover weight 4–5 topics properly. Touch weight-3 topics only if you finish early; skip weight 1–2 entirely.
14 days is enough for one disciplined pass over the high-weight portion of GRE, not the full 22-topic syllabus. The trap is starting too slow. Begin with the heaviest subjects on day one — you do not have a buffer week.
What to prioritise & cut
Cover weight 4–5 topics properly. Touch weight-3 topics only if you finish early; skip weight 1–2 entirely.
Mock tests & revision
Sit two or three timed previous-year papers in the second half and review every wrong answer the same day.
Weekly rhythm
Front-load new learning into the first 60% of days; reserve the last 40% for previous-year papers and error review.
