For GRE analytical writing section:

Make sure to structure the essay in a format. Do not forget to proofread and edit after writing your first draft. Practice writing on diverse topics as much as you can.

You can find some sample essays here to understand the format better.

For improving the GRE quant score, make a formulae sheet to memorize the formulae.
Take regular mock tests and analyze them well. It will help you know your mistakes. Learn time management by taking timed tests.

Here's my personal tip-
Write the entire essay first. Don’t listen to the critical side of your brain just now. Once you’ve finished your first draft, you can always come back and edit.

When it comes to the “Analyze an Issue” task, they see if a student-

Forms a clear and thoughtful opinion on the issue
Comes up with cogent arguments and examples to support the opinion
Is able to sustain a well-focused, well-organized analysis, connecting ideas coherently
Conveys ideas using effective vocabulary and sentence variety
For the “Analyze an Argument” task, they see if a student-

Forms a clear understanding of the argument
Develops ideas cogently, organizes them logically, and connects them well
Comes up with coherent arguments and examples to support the opinion
Conveys ideas using effective vocabulary and sentence variety

GRE Analyze an Issue task-
The best way to teach is to praise positive actions and ignore negative ones.
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position. GRE Analyze an Argument task-
“To reverse a decline in listener numbers, our owners have decided that WWAC must change from its current rock-music format. The decline has occurred despite population growth in our listening area, but that growth has resulted mainly from people moving here after their retirement. We must make listeners of these new residents. We could switch to a music format tailored to their tastes, but a continuing decline in local sales of recorded music suggests limited interest in music. Instead we should change to a news and talk format, a form of radio that is increasingly popular in our area.”
Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.

Here's some more-
Artless
Meaning - without cunning or deceit
Blinkered
Meaning - To have a limited perspective
Maudlin
Meaning - Overly emotional rambling.
Invective
Meaning - Abusive language
Remonstrate
Meaning - To make objections while pleading

Here are a few tips that will help you with GRE Analytical Writing-

Keep a standard essay structure in mind – Introduction, Problem Statement, Solution, Benefits of the solution, Drawbacks of the solution, Conclusion. Dedicate each para to one heading. Write the entire essay first. Once you’ve finished your first draft, you can always come back and edit. Practice, practice, practice!
