In Verbal Donot do 2 Mistakes

FIRST dont try to make ur own logic in sentence correction, analogy, antonym. the ans will be simple and straightforward and its on screen.so have patience. just use simple logic to find it and then make sure its the best ans on screen by making sure other ans are stupid.

SECOND dont try to run through the English section because u want to complete it full and read all the passage. in eng also 25/30 will get you 800/800. there wil be 3 RC. 2 long 1 short. leave the second long RC as it will save you atleast 10 min. just mark the 3 que of this RC as anything and move on. this 10 min will give u extra time in making sure that rest 27 que are correct / best guess.

Don't stick to one question for too long

By the time you have finished your GRE preparation, you should have a good estimate of how much time you can give to a particular question. Don't get stuck on one particular question for too long. This might cause you to lose precious time and miss questions you could have easily done.
