How long needed to study for the GRE?

I realize it's not rocket science, but it's been 8 years since I've had any formal, school-based math. I'm aiming to hit the 75th percentile in both the verbal and math sections to have a good shot at getting accepted into the master's program to which I'll be applying.
Given these considerations, how long would you recommend studying?

I'd say buy a book from Kaplan or Princeton Review and do the exercises.
Then, use the GRE software to take a practice test (just one). If you're at the percentiles you want, you're good to go. The practice tests on the official software are unbelievably accurate.

I just woke up and took it. If there is one problem I have nevr had it is text anxiety. I took the old GRE and made a 1240 with a 4.5 on the writing. Not bad marks...I do not know if studying would have changed much.

I didn't study at all, and I did alright. That said, it's a different era now, and you'll be competing against a bunch of tools who have take prep courses.

People study for that?
I guess it depends on how smart/stupid you are.
If you have to study A LOT, grad school probably isn't for you. Not being a dick, just being realistic.

Depends on how smart you are. If you're a genius not long, but if you aren't them you better get to it.
