I took my physics GRE a year ago. This year I took the General GRE, as well as the mathematics GRE. The general test is pretty easy. The math section was a breeze (though the fact that my degrees are physics and math might have something to do with that). I didn't have to study very much on the verbal or writing sections to do well either. I studied for about two weeks, and personally I think that's all you need to do well.

The subject tests are a bit different. Despite the fact that I detest math, I strangely happen to be very good at it, so the math subject test didn't seem to hard. The physics test, on the other hand, was quite the nightmare. Essentially they expected us to remember everything from freshman through junior years. Unlike the SAT from high school, there aren't really that many tricks or secrets to the subject tests. Either you know the material or you don't. I would recommend at least a month of study for your subject test.

Well, if you have any questions about the GRE, let me know, and I'll see if I can help you out. Good luck, by the way.

(Oh, and in case anyone is wondering why I took two subject tests. This Summer I had a misguided desire to go to graduate school in math. But after coming close to the end of my last set of classes for my math degree (and, unfortunately, after taking the test), I came to the realization that math is evil, and regained my resolve to go to apply for physics graduate school as I'd originally planned.)
