Here are some free online GRE practice problems.  I have worked through some of the practice tests on this site, and they seem to be very similar to the actual GRE.  I haven’t looked through their study tips yet, so I can’t vouch for those.  Enjoy.

Group your vocabulary for better recall…


When learning , get more bang for your buck by looking at synonyms at www.dictionary.com or sister site www.thesaurus.com. For example, when studying a word such as garrulous, you can also memorize verbose, prolix, loquacious, and voluble, all of which mean talkative, more or less.

As you go through them pay special attention to how they differ; prolix, for example, has the idea of tediously long-winded, while garrulous refers more to going on and on about relatively trivial matters. By grouping all these words together you establish a category and make all the words more memorable.
