What should I study first for the GRE?

Start with a diagnostic test, then tackle your weakest area first. For most students, that means math foundations (if you're rusty) and vocabulary (if your verbal baseline is below your target). Strategy and pacing come later, once you have the underlying content knowledge to apply them.
