Frequently Asked Questions

Score improvement depends on your starting point and study consistency, but most students see meaningful gains within 8-12 weeks of focused preparation. Tutors typically help identify your specific weak areas—whether that's geometry, data analysis, or algebra—and create targeted practice plans to address them. The GRE Quantitative section ranges from 130-170, and personalized 1-on-1 instruction is particularly effective for moving from one score band to the next, since tutors can adjust pacing and strategy based on your learning style.

Time management is one of the biggest challenges on GRE Quantitative, where you have roughly 1.5 minutes per question. Tutors teach strategic approaches like identifying question type quickly, knowing when to skip and return, and recognizing which problems are worth solving versus estimating. Through timed practice drills and mock tests, you'll build the muscle memory to pace yourself confidently on test day without sacrificing accuracy.

Tutors typically start by reviewing your diagnostic test results and having you work through practice problems while they observe your approach. This reveals patterns—whether you struggle with word problems, geometry, probability, or data interpretation. From there, they create a customized study plan that emphasizes your weak topics while maintaining your strengths, using targeted practice and strategy refinement rather than generic test prep.

The GRE Quantitative section includes four main question types: Quantitative Comparison, Multiple Choice (one answer), Multiple Choice (multiple answers), and Numeric Entry. Each requires a slightly different approach and strategy. Tutors help you master the unique format of each type—for example, understanding when to use estimation in Quantitative Comparison versus when you need exact calculations—so you're not wasting time figuring out what the question is asking on test day.

Most students benefit from 8-12 weeks of preparation with 1-2 tutoring sessions per week, depending on their starting level and target score. Between sessions, you'll work on practice problems and drills that your tutor assigns. The frequency allows tutors to monitor your progress, adjust strategy as needed, and keep you accountable—while giving you enough independent practice time to internalize concepts and build confidence.

Absolutely. Test anxiety often stems from uncertainty about your skills or unfamiliarity with question formats. Through repeated exposure to realistic practice tests, timed drills, and strategy refinement, you'll build genuine confidence in your abilities. Tutors also teach mental techniques for staying calm under pressure and help you develop a test-day mindset, so you approach the section as a problem-solving challenge rather than something to fear.

Practice tests are essential—they're the best way to simulate actual test conditions, identify pacing issues, and measure real progress. Most tutors recommend taking full-length practice tests every 2-3 weeks during your prep period, then reviewing them thoroughly with your tutor to understand mistakes and refine strategy. The official GRE practice tests are particularly valuable since they match the actual test format and difficulty level.
