I am looking to use the kaplan book but after purchase realized there is no form of study schedule. Does anyone have one or have any advice?

thanks

I have yet to take the GRE, but it just depends on what you're comfortable with. I know that the Verbal Reasoning and Essay portion will come easily to me. The Quantitative Section, however, is going to cause me some trouble. I've planned a few months (4) to study. I would recommend using several online resources and rent some study guides from the library.

I found The Princeton Review to be pretty decent.

I have already decided to use Kaplan, but there is no daily/ weekly schedule, any one have any advice, should i just commit to going through the book each section for an hour a day or something, I am looking for a very committed study schedule.

It really depends on what best fits your studying style. I used Kaplan and found it to be okay. I had average scores, in that it was enough to get into a Master's program, but not a PhD program.

I am currently studying to retake the test. I have a 6-month study plan and have been using magoosh.com. I am finding it much more helpful than the books. There are lessons, timed quizzes, and practice tests. It is also interactive. If you get a question wrong, it will explain the answer. You can also compare your pace to the average pace to answer a question.

I think I used Barron's (along with a PR book or two for added word lists), which didn't come with a formal schedule that I could tell, either. I basically just studied for 1-2 hours per day, 5-ish days per week for a few months. I generally split my time between memorizing word definitions (reviewing previously learned words every day and being sure I got all of those correct before moving on to new words, aiming for a think either one or two pages' worth of words per day) and re-memorizing the various math formulas and rules. Once every couple of weeks, I would also take a practice computer test...I believe I made it through 6 or 7 of those in total.
