The GRE is a graduate admissions exam that is accepted at thousands of graduate schools across the country, including law and business schools. The test was designed to assess how prepared a student is to continue on with their studies at the graduate school level. The exam serves the same role for many graduate programs as the SAT and ACT do at the undergrad level. If you take the GRE and perform well on it, then you may have a better chance of getting into your top choice graduate programs. That's why having a strong test preparation process is vital as you get ready to take the GRE. A GRE prep class could be the right fit for your needs.
Below, you'll find more information on the GRE's format:

When you sign up for GRE prep courses, you'll start learning from an experienced educator with a group of classmates in a convenient online setting. This learning option allows you to collaborate with your peers and get all of the academic benefits of taking a class without having to leave your home. You'll even have the option of spending some one-on-one time with your teacher when you need it. Thus, if you're someone who's previously found success in the traditional classroom learning environment, GRE prep classes may be right for you.
You can also sign up for private GRE tutoring. This may be the right fit for you if you're someone who values getting personalized feedback from their test preparation instructor. A tutor can set you up with a customized lesson plan and give you the guidance you need to make real academic progress.
