The purpose of this test prep workshop is to introduce the graduate school applicant to the structure,content, and logic of the GRE Test. In this course, we will share the test-process analysis, complete content review, and practice questions. We will also discuss anxiety reduction and study techniques in order to empower the student to aim to perform competitively on the GRE. Emphasis will be placed on learning appropriate timing and strategies designed to account for the adaptive nature of this complex computerized exam.
Required Text: Required book: Cracking the GRE, by the Princeton Review, 2010 ed. (with or without CD).
Note: This course assumes basic math ability. If you feel you are not prepared for the GRE Math section, please consider the Basic Math Refresher Course described below.
Math skills fade with time for everyone. Come and refresh your arithmetic and algebra abilities in order to prepare yourself for the GRE Test Prep Course. If math fundamentals are fresh in your mind, learning appropriate timing and strategies for the GRE will be much easier.
Note: this class is NOT a GRE strategy class; it covers math skills only and should be accompanied by the GRE Preparation Course.

than 5 days prior, you’ll receive 50% of the course fee (minus the $15 penalty) . Refunds are not given for missed classes or no shows.
