Oakland GRE Tutoring FAQ
The GRE, or Graduate Record Examination, is taken by most students who are applying to graduate school, as it is the most common test given to students who are entering graduate school. The test contains three sections. The analytical writing section gives you two writing tasks, one where you write about a given issue and one where you make an argument on a given prompt. The quantitative section tests you on your knowledge of high school math and reasoning skills. The verbal reasoning section tests you on reading comprehension, critical reasoning, and vocabulary usage. Perhaps the toughest thing about the GRE is that it may test you on things you haven't thought about since high school, so some refreshing of your memory is important. Effective preparation is essential before taking the GRE. If you're preparing for the GRE, Varsity Tutors can assist you in finding an experienced tutor in Oakland.
