The PowerScore
Weekend GRE Course
16 hours of lecture on one weekend for only $395!

On April 2, 2007, ETS announced that they have cancelled their plans to launch the revised GRE. For more information, visit www.ets.org.

A GRE score is typically the single component that all graduate school applicants have in common. It is considered to be a relatively accurate predictor of how you will perform in graduate schools, and is a critical benchmark used to distinguish individuals from their fellow applicants. In fact, at many school, the GRE is the primary factor that determines not only your acceptance, but also what merit-based grants, fellowships, assistantships, and financial aid you may be eligible to receive. Serious preparation is about more than just a GRE score: it is an investment in your future.

The Best Value- 16 lecture hours for $395

  • The Weekend Course consists of sixteen lecture hours taught on the Saturday and Sunday of a single weekend by one of our highly-trained instructors. The cost of the 16-hour weekend is a very reasonable $395. Given that some companies charge nearly $1000 for courses with a similar number of lecture hours, this is an incredible value.

  • The price includes pre-class study material, the complete weekend course booklet (over 220 pages in length), access to our Email Assistance Program, and a personal copy of GRE Practicing to Take the General Test, 10th Edition, including over 1,000 actual GRE questions. No other company offers you so much for such a low price.

  • We are the only GRE preparation company to offer a free, no-strings-attached course repeat. You can take the same course again free of charge, anytime within a year of your original enrollment!

Highly Qualified Instructors- all have scored in the 99th percentile and are GRE experts

  • The GRE requires test takers to be proficient in a wide array of areas, including advanced mathematics, reading comprehension, and analytical writing. Our instructors have all scored in the 99th percentile on a real GRE-proof that they fully understand each of these difficult concepts. Since they don’t have to struggle to understand the test itself, they can focus solely on teaching you how to master the GRE in the same way that they did.

  • Our instructors are enthusiastic and truly enjoy teaching, and we only hire instructors who can patiently and effectively explain the ideas in our course—in a fun and exciting format.

Online Student Center

  • Prior to the weekend course, you are given access to our Online Student Center which contains a variety of valuable pre-course math and verbal primers including the PowerScore Roots and Affixes Dictionary, the Power Score GRE Lexicon (a compendium of key GRE words and their definitions), and the PowerScore GRE Homograph Glossary. You will also find general information about the GRE, plus links to two Computer Adaptive Practice Tests.

Extensive Course Materials and homework plus access to our Online Student Center

  • Prior to the course, registered students are sent math and verbal primers including the PowerScore Roots and Affixes Dictionary™, the PowerScore GRE Lexicon™ (a compendium of key GRE words and their definitions), and the PowerScore GRE Homograph Glossary™.

  • Sessions are highly interactive as we closely review each of the scored sections on the GRE. We will discuss everything from how to tackle the unusual environment of a Computer Adaptive Test to the strategies most effective in attacking every question type on the exam. This includes recognizing and solving the major Verbal question types and structures, analyzing Quantitative questions with the perfect combination of formulas and logic, and constructing two critical, persuasive essays. After learning such simple but effective techniques as the Numerical Approximation™, your score should increase immediately. For the full listing of topics, check out our Weekend GRE Course Syllabus.

  • Included in the course is the publication “GRE Practicing to Take the General Test, 10th Edition,” which includes over 1000 real GRE questions from the makers of the test. Since concepts tend to repeat from test to test, only by studying real questions can you gain the insight necessary to attack the methods used by the test makers.

  • Your preparation continues well beyond the conclusion of the course: you will receive a comprehensive set of homework problems, drills, and analyses to help reinforce what you have learned.

Free Email Assistance- for help with all of your questions after the course

*Current GRE scores consist primarily of two parts: a Verbal score and a Quantitative score. These scores are intended for interpretation independent of one another, and thus ETS does not designate a combined total that would represent an overall 99th percentile score. In order to meet our 99th percentile requirement, PowerScore requires that all instructors score in the 99th percentile on at least one of the two sections, with a minimum score of at least 700 on the other section.
