GRE Analytical Writing Prep

If you are looking to invest in expert GRE Analytical Writing prep, Varsity Tutors can place you in a GRE Analytical Writing course and help you feel more prepared. The Graduate Records Examination (GRE for short) has three sections, one of which is Analytical Writing. You need to compose two separately-timed essays in just one hour, and both tasks require complicated thought processes. If you're ready to take your GRE Analytical Writing test prep up a notch, contact us today for more information about GRE Analytical Writing classes!

We offer two different GRE Analytical Writing courses to make GRE Analytical Writing test prep as painless as possible. First, you can book private GRE Analytical Writing tutoring sessions with a knowledgeable instructor. The one-on-one learning environment ensures that you are your teacher's sole student during your GRE Analytical Writing prep, so all of your work can receive immediate feedback. You are also free to study at your own pace throughout your GRE Analytical Writing preparation, as there are no arbitrary time limits or set curricula limiting your flexibility.

Alternatively, you may enroll in a group course. A GRE Analytical Writing test prep course puts a few classmates with you and an instructor. Many courses boast the advantage of providing a collaborative learning environment as everyone pursues their academic goals together. Best of all, you can still book one-on-one time with your instructor if you feel that you need an extra edge.

Regardless of format, most GRE Analytical Writing prep programs begin by establishing the format of the test. It's computer-based, meaning that you might want to take a practice exam or two over the course of your GRE Analytical Writing test preparation to develop a familiarity with its electronic interface. Here are a few more tips:

GRE Analytical Writing Strategies

• Use effective time management(30 minutes per task)
  • Assess the task and directions
  • Plan your response
  • Write the response
  • Check it over for errors and clarity if time allows
• Review sample topics
  • Do practice runs

You'll need to finish a total of two tasks on the Analytical Writing test. The first is known as the "issue task" and requires test-takers to compose an original essay based on the prompt provided. The issue is drawn from a list released before the exam, so there are a finite number of topics you might want to prepare in advance with your GRE Analytical Writing tutors. The second is the "argumentative" task, requiring students to critique an argument provided. The sample question below provides a good illustration of what this might look like:

Analyze an Argument Task Sample

The following report appeared in the newsletter of the West Meria Public Health Council.

"An innovative treatment has come to our attention that promises to significantly reduce absenteeism in our schools and workplaces. A study reports that in nearby East Meria, where fish consumption is very high, people visit the doctor only once or twice per year for the treatment of colds. Clearly, eating a substantial amount of fish can prevent colds. Since colds represent the most frequently given reason for absences from school and work, we recommend the daily use of Ichthaid - a nutritional supplement derived from fish oil - as a good way to prevent colds and lower absenteeism."

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.

The provided snippet on this task makes a sensational claim without hard data to back it up. If you were writing out this essay as part of your GRE Analytical Writing test prep, you might want to note that there is no evidence that fish consumption has any causality for the relatively low number of colds in East Meria, no evidence that fish-based supplements would have the same effect, and no proof that colds are the ultimate cause of higher absenteeism.

Varsity Tutors also tries to make GRE Analytical Writing prep as convenient as possible. All students who work with us have access to our proprietary Live Learning Platform, an online classroom that facilitates digital study sessions to take the hassle out of private instruction. We also schedule multiple course sessions concurrently to make it easier to find one that suits your busy life.

GRE Verbal Reasoning Prep

If you're looking for ways to take your GRE Verbal prep to the next level, enrolling in a GRE Verbal course offered by Varsity Tutors could help you work toward your academic goals. The GRE is a high-stakes exam, so you should take every step that you can to put yourself in a position where you can perform at your best. If you would like to concentrate on GRE Verbal test prep, taking a dedicated GRE Verbal class may unlock your academic potential!

The first stage of any effective GRE prep program is developing a familiarity with the test's structure. The test is computer-based, so you might want to make practice exams part of your GRE Verbal test preparation if you are unfamiliar with digital assessments. It's also timed, so time management is key if you hope to answer every question. Finally, the exam has a multiple-choice format in which you may need to choose two correct responses on one question. If that sounds difficult to you, consider asking GRE Verbal tutors for advice on how to approach these questions.

Once you understand the structure of the test, the next stage in GRE Verbal test prep is looking at specific content areas. Here is a look at some of the most important skills on the test:

GRE Verbal Reasoning Skills Assessed

• Understanding the meaning of individual words and sentences
• Summarizing a passage
• Analyzing a text and reaching conclusions about it
• Identifying strengths and weaknesses of a position
• Reaching conclusions from partial information
• Ability to interpret meaning from context
• Ability to evaluate a passage
• Ability to reason about the whole from parts

That's a lot to go over, but we offer two different types of GRE Verbal courses to help you break it down into more digestible bits. The first GRE Verbal preparation option is private GRE Verbal tutoring. You study with a knowledgeable instructor within a one-on-one learning environment, allowing all of your work to be reviewed while the material remains fresh in your mind. Your instructor may also be able to design GRE Verbal classes around your unique needs and learning style to improve your study efficiency. Perhaps most importantly, you may spend as much or as little time on each of the concepts above as you need to.

If you would prefer to study in a more traditional environment, a group course might be the GRE Verbal test prep option for you. A course is like a small classroom with you, your teacher, and several other students preparing for the same exam you are. Everybody can try to help each other out, fostering a collaborative learning environment that you may find more engaging. Should you decide that you need individualized attention, you have the right to reserve private class time with your GRE Verbal prep instructor as needed.

Both are excellent options, and we try to make them as convenient for you as we can. If you would like to work with a tutor one-on-one, we do our best to refer you to somebody who meets your scheduling needs. If you would prefer a course, we offer multiple class times to help you fit one into your busy life. Either way, you can study on our exclusive Live Learning Platform to take the hassle out of GRE Verbal test prep.

Below is an example of the type of question you might want to review:
