Want it or not, standardized testing does not end with college graduation. The Graduate Record Examination, or GRE, is required by graduate schools. This aptitude test measures verbal, analytical writing, and quantitative skills learned in high school and college. There are six sections in all; one of these is experimental and not incorporated into the score, but you will not know which part this is while taking the test. Contributing to the mix is the GRE's 3-hour, 45-minute length. If you are destined to spend half your day taking an exam, then any weaknesses, in any area, really can do a number on your confidence. Our educational directors in Santa Barbara, CA, will get a tutor for you who can work with your learning style and abilities, to potentially help you improve on the GRE.
A tutor can easily identify your strengths and weaknesses well in advance of the exam. By finding these regions of confusion, they can create a targeted study plan that personalizes the whole experience.
