The Ultimate Guide to Acing Your Online GRE Exam from Home

Last year, I met Zara an international student juggling two part time jobs while caring for her younger siblings. She was determined to pursue grad school but struggled to find time and peace to study. The idea of taking the online GRE exam from home felt like her only shot. With limited resources and endless distractions, she built a routine studying after midnight, using free prep tools, and turning her tiny bedroom into an exam ready space. Against the odds, she scored above 320. Her journey reminded me that grit, not just guidance, is what gets you across the finish line even when home doesn’t feel like the ideal exam center.
