Varsity Tutors would love to help you get ready for the GRE with an in-depth Omaha GRE preparation option. The Graduate Record Examination or GRE is a challenging standardized exam that is usually taken by individuals who are getting ready to apply to graduate programs. For example, you may decide to take the GRE if you're close to finishing your undergraduate degree at schools like Creighton University or the University of Nebraska Omaha. If you perform well on this exam, then you could have a better chance of getting into the graduate programs you'd most like to attend.
However, doing well on the GRE can be challenging to do without a strong test preparation process. Varsity Tutors can help you build your own ideal study plan through the Omaha GRE prep options that we offer. If you think that you would benefit from having help studying for the GRE, then consider reaching out to us today to get started. You can also simply keep reading for more information on this exam and what we can do to help you study for it.
What's covered on the GRE?
One of the reasons that the GRE is so difficult is because it covers a wide range of topics. The exam was designed with the purpose of helping graduate programs assess which or their applicants are most suited for success at the graduate school level of study. To accomplish this goal, the GRE is split into three sections. These sections are discussed in-depth in the following paragraphs.
The first test section is called Analytical Writing. This part of the GRE features two separate tasks. The first task asks test-takers to analyze an issue and the second task asks them to analyze an argument. The Analytical Writing section differs from the other parts of the GRE because you'll respond to the prompts you're given in the written form rather than marking the correct option on a multiple-choice question. The work that you do in this section will be graded based on things like the quality of your writing and the strength of the arguments and analysis you write about.
The next part of the GRE is called Verbal Reasoning. There are two Verbal Reasoning sections on the exam and each features 20 questions. Test-takers will be given 60 minutes to complete the Verbal Reasoning section and will earn a score ranging from 130 to 170 points for their work. The section focuses on skills like reading comprehension, text analysis, interpreting meaning from context, and identifying the strengths and weaknesses of a written passage, among other things.
The last section to mention on the GRE is called Quantitative Reasoning. Here, you'll need to demonstrate an understanding of core math subjects like geometry, data analysis, algebra, and arithmetic. You'll be asked to apply your mathematical skill set on questions that may ask you to perform a quantitative comparison or numeric entry. There are two Quantitative Reasoning sections on the GRE and each consists of 20 questions. You'll have an hour and ten minutes to complete your Quantitative Reasoning sections and will be graded on a scale ranging from 130 to 170.
You should also know that the GRE usually has an Experimental Section as well. This part of the test isn't graded, so you don't have to worry about it impacting your final score. However, you won't know which part of your exam is the Experimental Section so you'll need to take each part of the GRE seriously. This part of the test is included so that the test makers can gather data and figure out whether or not they want to include experimental questions on future GRE exams. Varsity Tutors can help you prepare for all of these sections with the test preparation supplement of your choice.
What are the benefits of Omaha GRE prep?
Signing up for a test preparation supplement is a great way to get more out of your study sessions. You'll be able to work with an experienced instructor who can take you on a step-by-step process through the content of your upcoming exam. If you think that you would benefit from this kind of academic assistance, then you can easily get started by contacting us today. You can choose from either taking an Omaha GRE prep class or working with a private tutor. There are unique benefits associated with both of these options, which you can learn more about by reading the paragraphs below.
For example, you may be interested in taking an Omaha GRE prep course if you've previously enjoyed the classroom learning experience. If you sign up for a course, you'll learn through a series of live lectures delivered by an instructor on a powerful virtual learning platform. You'll have a group of peers to learn with who you can interact with throughout your lessons. You can even work with your instructor in a one-on-one setting if you need additional help with a challenging GRE topic. This option combines the benefits of the traditional classroom learning experience with the convenience of online learning.
Or, you may be more interested in working with an Omaha GRE tutor. This option gives you the chance to work with your instructor in a one-on-one setting where your needs always remain the top priority. Your instructor can create a customized learning plan for you that's based on your test goals, learning style, and existing academic skill set. You can work through each GRE topic at your own pace and spend additional time on the ones that are harder for you to understand. We'll also make every effort to connect you with tutors who are able to work around your existing obligations. This makes tutoring a realistic possibility for most individuals.
How can you get started?
Are you interested in signing up for an Omaha GRE prep supplement? If so, the quickest way to do so is by contacting Varsity Tutors directly. We'd love to help you find the right learning plan for your needs. Consider reaching out to us today if you're ready to begin. We look forward to working with you.

...I enjoy it. Education has opened up so many doors for me, and this is largely because I was fortunate to have some amazing teachers growing up who made learning fun (or at the very least not miserable). My goal is to do the same for each one of the students who I work with, and find ways to make even the most abstract concepts or complex math problems "click" in a student's mind.... Individualization is key. Find a way to make it "click" for each person that I work with. For some, that means using sports analogies; for others it means creating color-coded diagrams; but the key is always to adapt my instructional approach to how a student learns.
