HW Help as Physics GRE practice?

In summary, this strategy sounds like a good way to improve your GRE skills. You should also practice with old GRE's to make sure you are not wasting your time.

I'm just wondering if anyone's tried this before, and how well it worked.

I am thinking about spending roughly an hour a day to answer questions in the HW Help section as practice for the GRE-Ph. I figure it'll give me a good variety of problems and I'll get to help some people along the way. I plan on taking the GRE in November.

Anyone tried implementing this as part of a study strategy?

Nobody has ever mentioned this it does sound like a good strategy!
Of course, you have to be able to tell when a problem is not appropriate for the GRE (too advanced or too specific) and not spend too much time on those. And also, it's a good idea as long as in addition you also do old GRE exams for practice.

Old GRE's are a must by what I hear. I am currently studying for the test as well. Search Google for "Physics GRE" or something of the like. several pdfs of old GREs should come up in the results.
