If you're interested in pursuing a graduate degree in the Columbus area, then Varsity Tutors can help you study for the GRE with an in-depth Columbus GRE prep option. Taking the GRE is a challenging, yet important step in the process of continuing on with your education at the graduate school level of study. You may have decided to take this exam if you're close to finishing your undergraduate degree at The Ohio State University or Franklin University.
Doing well on the GRE could help you get into more competitive graduate school programs. However, it can be difficult to study for the GRE on your own. That's where Varsity Tutors comes in. We can help you get started with a test preparation supplement that may enable you to get more out of your study sessions. If you think that you would benefit from this learning opportunity, then consider reaching out to us today. Or, you can keep reading for more information on the exam and what we can do to help you study for it.
What's tested on the GRE?
The GRE is a challenging exam because doing well on it requires a wide-ranging academic skill set. The test is split into three sections that focus on the topics of Analytical Writing, Verbal Reasoning, and Quantitative Reasoning, respectively. You can get help preparing for each of these sections when you sign up for a Columbus GRE preparation option provided by Varsity Tutors.
The Analytical Writing test section asks test-takers to analyze an issue and an argument in the written form. To do this, you'll be given 60 minutes. Your work will be graded based on things like the quality of your writing and the strengths of the arguments you make in it. You'll need to examine claims while using evidence and articulate complex concepts effectively in a short amount of time in order to do well on the Analytical Writing section. The section is graded on a 0 to 6 point scale.
The next section on the GRE focuses on Quantitative Reasoning. This part of the exam is subdivided into two smaller sections, which each contain 20 questions. In the Quantitative Reasoning section, you'll be asked to show your math skills as well as your ability to reason effectively with logic. Some of the math topics tested in this section include things like data analysis, geometry, and algebra. You'll earn a score ranging from 130 to 170 points on this GRE section.
Finally, test-takers will also need to complete the exam's Verbal Reasoning section. Here, you'll be asked to demonstrate your reading comprehension skills. You'll be tasked with reading a series of written passages and then responding to questions based on those passages. You'll also do things like completing a partial sentence on this section of the GRE. Like the Quantitative Reasoning section, Verbal Reasoning is also graded on a 130 to 170 point scale and features two twenty question sections.
What can you get out of Columbus GRE prep provided by Varsity Tutors?
Signing up for test preparation assistance is a great way to get more out of your study sessions. When you reach out to us, you can sign up to take a Columbus GRE prep course or work with a private tutor. Both of these options can help you in different ways so it's worth taking some time to consider which one may be right for you. Below, you'll get a more in-depth look at both of these test prep supplements.
The first thing you may be interested in is taking a Columbus GRE prep class. This option provides all of the benefits of the traditional classroom learning experience in a more convenient online setting. You'll learn from an experienced instructor who can take you on a step-by-step journey through the GRE's most challenging content. Courses are a group learning option so you'll also learn alongside a number of peers. You can interact with the other students in your class, which studies have shown can help you get more out of your learning experience.
Additionally, if you have a hard time with one of the subjects discussed in your class, then you can get extra help with it by signing up to work with your instructor in a one-on-one setting. This option ensures that you can get the assistance you need if you ever feel like you're starting to fall behind in your course. There are new course options that start weekly in both a two and four-week format, as well. The wide variety of courses offered means that you can easily find one that fits your scheduling needs. Get in touch with us today if you think that taking a GRE class is the right option for you.
You could also decide to work with a Columbus GRE tutor. This option gives you the chance to work with your educator directly through a series of one-on-one learning sessions. Since just you and your tutor will be present during these sessions, they can focus on the specific GRE topics that you need the most help with. For instance, if you have a tough time with Verbal Reasoning, your instructor can spend more time on that and less time on things that you already understand at a high level. This creates an efficient learning experience that can help you get ready for your upcoming GRE exam.
How can you get started with GRE prep assistance?
As discussed above, the GRE is a challenging exam to prepare for because of its wide-ranging content and restrictive time limits. However, it's important to have a solid test preparation process for the GRE because doing well on the exam could help you get into the graduate programs you'd most like to attend. Do you think that you would benefit from having additional guidance during your GRE study sessions? If so, you can easily sign up for the Columbus GRE prep option of your choice when you reach out to Varsity Tutors today. We'd love to get you started with a learning plan that can help you make the academic growth you've been working towards. We hope to hear from you soon.
