These resources will provide you with a comprehensive review outline.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve reviewed for the Psychology GRE Subject Test, take a practice test (like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ets.org\/gre\/test-takers\/subject-tests\/prepare.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the one offered by ETS<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

If you sense that a question is taking or will take too much time (more than a couple of minutes, for example), mark it in your test booklet and come back to it later. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It may be useful to work through the test quickly at first, answering easy questions and marking more difficult questions for later. When you\u2019ve answered the last question, go back and begin working through the more difficult questions. This will ensure that even if you do begin to run out of time at the end, you will have completed the majority of questions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><\/article><div class='iconlist-timeline'><\/div><\/li>\n<li><div  class='iconlist_icon  avia-font-entypo-fontello'><span class='iconlist-char ' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue84b' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/span><\/div><article class=\"article-icon-entry \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='iconlist_content_wrap'><header class=\"entry-content-header\"><h4 class='av_iconlist_title iconlist_title   '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Read all the directions carefully.<\/h4><\/header><div class='iconlist_content  '  itemprop=\"text\"  ><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Completing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ets.org\/s\/gre\/pdf\/practice_book_psych.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">practice test<\/a> or two ahead of time will make it so that you\u2019re already comfortable with the directions going into the exam.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><\/article><div class='iconlist-timeline'><\/div><\/li>\n<li><div  class='iconlist_icon  avia-font-entypo-fontello'><span class='iconlist-char ' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue849' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/span><\/div><article class=\"article-icon-entry \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='iconlist_content_wrap'><header class=\"entry-content-header\"><h4 class='av_iconlist_title iconlist_title   '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Use your test booklet and your answer sheet.<\/h4><\/header><div class='iconlist_content  '  itemprop=\"text\"  ><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use your test booklet to take notes and organize your thoughts.
