No matter where you are in your GRE review, Varsity Tutors can enroll you in a comprehensive Houston GRE class. The Graduate Record Examination, or GRE, serves as a comprehensive assessment that can help you stand out from other graduate school applicants. Administered in over 160 countries, this exam is accepted by most universities and colleges. Your score can give schools an idea of your readiness for the advanced programs offered by graduate-level institutions. Whether you aren't sure where to begin or you're halfway through your test review, you can still benefit from an online class led by an expert instructor.
The GRE is a three-section exam that can take up to three hours and 45 minutes to complete. The test strives to assess a variety of foundational skills that are invaluable to your ability to succeed in graduate-level classes. You'll need solid time management, communication, reading comprehension, problem-solving, and other skills to go after your test score goals. A Houston GRE course can give you the opportunity to expand on your knowledge and abilities in an interactive and collaborative environment.
What can a Houston GRE course help me review?
The GRE consists of an Analytical Writing section, a Quantitative Reasoning, and a Verbal Reasoning section. The first section you will tackle on the exam is the Analytical Writing, though the remaining two may come in any order. Each section assesses a variety of different skills, so it is important to be prepared for the content of the test.
The Analytical Writing section aims to measure your ability to think critically while communicating your thoughts and ideas. To accomplish this, you will be presented with two, 30-minute tasks: "analyze an argument" and "analyze an issue." Though you don't need any specific knowledge to complete these tasks, you will need to be prepared to evaluate, assess, and respond to each. The issue assignment presents an opinion of an issue that you will need to be able to support an argument against, while the other one asks you to consider the logic of an argument and evaluate its claims.
You will have an hour and 10 minutes to tackle the Quantitative Reasoning section. Split into two 20-question subsections, you can score between 130 and 170 on this portion. Half of the Quantitative Reasoning section allows you to use a calculator, which you are given during the exam. There are four main content areas that are focused on arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and data analysis. The exam assesses your abilities in these areas through four types of questions: numeric entry, multiple-choice with one answer, multiple-choice with one or more answers, and quantitative comparisons.
The Verbal Reasoning section of the GRE is also split into two 20-question sections. You can achieve 130-170 points on this section. You will have one hour to demonstrate your ability to understand information that is presented in written English. This section measures your ability to analyze, evaluate, and interpret information presented as a whole or in part. Half this section focuses on passage-related questions while the remaining task you with completing the passages or sentences. Questions are split into reading comprehension, sentence equivalence, and text completion types.
How can I benefit from enrolling in a Houston GRE class?

They can explain the different types of questions, review math concepts for the Quantitative Reasoning section, and demonstrate different strategies that can help you remain confident as you work through the exam. Your instructor can use a variety of test prep materials that can allow you and your peers to solve practice problems and explore the exam in a hands-on way.
Collaborative learning has been shown to help students deepen their knowledge and ability. Your classmates may ask questions or have a perspective that you may not have considered, allowing you to gain the knowledge you didn't know you lacked. Your instructor can offer real-time feedback to your and your peers' efforts, whether your sessions are working to build solid Analytical Writing skills, or you've joined a Verbal Reasoning course. Your instructor can even set time aside to help you through challenging areas one-on-one, which can help you further strengthen your knowledge.
