1. Start early, like you are. Get a preparatory book with lots of practice tests and do one at least every couple of days. Pay attention to the sorts of problems the books say you'll encounter, because that helped me guide my studying a lot.
2. When you work on the tests, pay a LOT of attention to your time management. People always think they can just wing it on the test, but if you practice it beforehand, it's a breeze. Know how many questions you need to have done in a certain amount of time, in order to finish the sections you're working on.
3. Make a bunch of flash cards and learn those babies. The vocabulary is actually much harder than the math, and that's coming from someone who thought she had a really decent vocabulary, until the GRE practice exams showed her how stupid she actually was. I learned (and I only wish I were exaggerating here) over a thousand words for that stupid test.
4. Don't wing the essays, either. It's not necessary to create a template the way the prep books will sometimes suggest, but some practice is really good. Just getting into the habit of thinking of ways to contest an argument, etc. can be very helpful in preparing you for the actual exam.
My brain is melting, because of all the studying I've been doing for a midterm this Wednesday. Hopefully, all of this makes sense and will be somewhat helpful. Good luck on the test!
