What can a Madison GRE class help me review?
The GRE involves three sections that include Analytical Writing, Verbal Reasoning, and Quantitative Reasoning. The test takes about 3 hours and 45 minutes and is accepted by colleges and universities across the world. The questions are a combination of multiple-choice and written essays. Let's take a look at each section so you know what to expect come test day.
The Analytical Writing portion focuses on 2 tasks that are worth points ranging from 0-6. You are given 60 minutes to answer the questions. One question involves analyzing an issue and the other involves analyzing an argument. Each question allows you up to 30 minutes to complete. While completing this task you'll be expected to formulate complex ideas and use supporting claims to back them up correctly with examples. You'll also focus on keeping the discussion coherent and using written English properly.
The Verbal Reasoning portion of the test involves 2 sections of 20 questions for a total of 60 minutes. You can earn a score anywhere between 130-170. You'll read passages that are anywhere between one to seven paragraphs, with 1-6 questions per passage. You'll choose the best answers to provided questions. During this portion of the test, you'll be assessed for how well you can summarize a paragraph, your use of reasoning and evaluation, how you interpret meaning, the way you reach conclusions, and identifying strengths and weaknesses of a position taken.
Finally, you'll reach the Quantitative Reasoning. It has two sections of 20 questions and lasts for 1 hour and 10 minutes. You can earn a score between 130-170. Here, you'll use basic math and show your ability to handle problem-solving and various other math concepts. Among the types of math used are arithmetic, algebra, and geometry. Some of the questions involve multiple-choice answers, quantitative comparison, and numeric entry.
Although these are not scored portions of the test, there is an Experimental section and a Research portion. These are used to try out new questions for the future. The Experimental section, when used, is present within the Verbal or Quantitative section of the exam, but not identified. The Research section is identified and will appear at the very end.
How do Madison GRE courses help me get ready for test day?
GRE courses are offered in an online environment that fosters learning and makes it enjoyable. If you're getting ready for a master's program in business right out of college or you're a busy professional, we understand that your schedule is busy.

Together, you'll cover all the sections of the exam, allowing you to feel prepared before test day. You can discuss memorization techniques with fellow classmates on how to approach the Quantitative section if you need extra guidance with math. If you're working on the Analytical Writing portion, you and your classmates can share ideas on how to best approach drafting while making the most of your time. If you're feeling stuck or want extra assistance, your instructor is there to help you. Between the collaborative help and individual assistance from your teacher, you can make the most of your time while getting ready for the test.

I have a diverse background working as a stem cell researcher, QC microbiologist, and now a chef at a local restaurant. In my free time I train for triathlons, hike, and do fermentation work for both at home and restaurant use. I prefer to adapt my teaching style to whatever works...

Aaron: Madison GRE course instructor
I connect with people best through sharing ideas. The majority of my spare time is spent trying to simplify or find alternate proofs of basic theorems to make them more intuitive.... Focusing on beauty solves many problems a teacher faces. If I am attending a lecture about The Great Gatsby, I will be eager if the speaker tells of the beauty she sees, rather than a quick and dirty type of analysis. I regularly talk to people who admit math wasn't their favorite subject in school. Some were self-conscious. Some had gaps they never filled. Some just didn't care. Whatever the case, I admit to them that math is my favorite art form with as much room for expression as sculpting or jazz. I claim that mathematicians are half artists, half observers of fine art. My conversants often tell me it is an epiphany for them to think of math as such, and that it helps heal their math wound. A marvelous way I have found to unveil beauty in the classroom is by using surprise. I like to present ideas from a simple perspective, discuss them briefly, then release a theorem. Thales' theorem (the diameter of a circle subtends a right angle to any point on the circumference) is a great example, especially with the aid of Java applets. After playing a bit with triangles by moving points around in a worksheet, it's surprising to be able to connect two structures as basic as a right triangle and a diameter. Next in importance to marveling at beauty, I want students to learn to think critically to solve problems. Understandably, some students have never had guidance past high school drills. All the more, problem solving should be emphasized and revisited throughout college curriculum. I have many years of experience in problem solving competitions and a collection of principles regarding problem solving that I like to follow. One is about inverse problems. Consider the following: if baseball cards are five cents apiece and shipping costs fifty cents, how many cards will one dollar buy? After making the arithmetic clear, students had better know how to calculate the forward problem, i.e. "How much will x number of cards cost?" I'm depending on them knowing the forward problem because we covered it last week, but it is important to bring it out in more than just a mention so the students have a comfortable base to start. It's like revisiting rational numbers before diving into irrationals. They are intrinsically tied, and it gives the class confidence to start with old material.
