GRE Test Prep

Failing to prepare is preparing to fail. GRE preparation should be taken very seriously. If you were one to cram in undergrad school, better step into gear right away. This is no time to wait until the last minute. Like most entrance exams, scores will lie high in determining admission to grad school along with your GPA. If you had a low GPA, your GRE scores will make or break your chances of admission. With adequate GRE preparation, you will feel much better taking the test when you know you fully trained yourself for the task.

There are a slew of GRE practice tests available. Learn more here.

If you register for the computer-based test, GRE POWERPREP software is a great way to prepare for the online test - and it's free! Take full advantage of this training software that includes practice tests, interactive feedback, explanations of the test format and more.

Also make sure to review basic math skills in your GRE practice. As a liberal arts or social sciences major, you might not have had many math courses in college, so grab a friend or better yet, a tutor, to go over some of those skills with you. If you were fortunate enough to have taken your share of math courses in your undergraduate studies, review those course notes and any textbooks you may still have. Don’t let your assumed knowledge get the better of you and skim over this portion of the test.
