Looking for a GRE Study Partner (and hopefully a long-term friend through the application journey)
Hey everyone!
I'm a 23M from India, working full-time while preparing for the GRE and targeting Fall 2027 master's admissions.
I'm currently following GregMat's 1-month plan (Week 2, Day 3). My biggest challenge isn't understanding the material—it's staying consistent. I've realized I do much better when I'm working towards a goal with other people. Having someone to talk to, share progress with, and be accountable to really pushes me.
I'm looking for people who genuinely want to work together, not just exchange a few messages and disappear after a week.
What I have in mind:
Sharing daily goals and end-of-day updates (timing doesn't matter—just update whenever you're done for the day)
Regular check-ins over Discord, WhatsApp, or Google Meet—whatever works best
Discussing tricky GRE questions, vocab, and strategies
Maintaining an error log together after quizzes and mocks
Weekly catch-ups to review progress
Maybe solving questions or reviewing mocks together on weekends
One thing to mention: I actually prefer studying alone most of the time. I'm not looking to be on a call while studying every day. I'd rather study independently and then connect for check-ins, discussions, and accountability. So our schedules don't have to match perfectly, and time zones aren't a big constraint.
I'm not looking for perfection. We all have bad days and lose motivation sometimes. I just don't want either of us to disappear because of a rough week. I'll do my best to check in on you, encourage you, and help you stay on track, and I'd appreciate the same in return.
Apart from GRE, I'm also trying to improve myself as a person by building better habits and becoming more consistent. I'd love this to be a positive partnership where we motivate each other, celebrate the small wins, and get through the difficult days together.
If things go well, I'd also love to continue beyond GRE—helping each other with university shortlisting, SOPs, applications, admits, and everything that comes after.
If this sounds like something you'd enjoy, feel free to DM me. Hopefully, we can make this journey a little less lonely and help each other become more consistent, both for the GRE and beyond.
