Pasadena GRE Tutoring FAQ
The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is utilized by numerous colleges and universities as a part of their graduate admissions process. It is a standardized test and it takes approximately three and a half hours to complete. The test is made up of four sections, which include experimental or research, verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and analytical reasoning.
The experimental or research section is not counted as a part of your total score. It can consist of either quantitative or verbal questions. The verbal reasoning section is divided into two sections. The first section focuses on reading comprehension, critical reading, and vocabulary usage. The second section places an emphasis on text completion, sentence equivalence, and critical reading.
The quantitative reasoning section also has two sections. The first section covers high school math and reasoning. The second section contains quantitative comparisons, problem solving, and data interpretation. Finally, the analytical reasoning section also contains two sections. The argument task requires students to critique an argument. The issue task involves writing about a topic for half an hour.
The GRE can be difficult to study for because it requires you to have both breadth and depth to your education. This can present quite a challenge for most students because they either know a lot of information about one topic and not enough about others or they just know a superficial amount of information about a lot of different topics. If you do not feel like you are adequately prepared for the GRE, it may be a wise decision to connect with a private tutor. To connect with GRE tutors in Pasadena, CA, call the educational directors at Varsity Tutors.
