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

Dictionary™, the PowerScore GRE Lexicon™ (a

-
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.

studying real questions can you gain the insight necessary
to attack the methods used by the test makers.

problems, drills, and analyses to help reinforce what you

"This course was exactly what I needed. I spent
2 months studying and then took the PowerScore weekend session
the week before my test. I was able to focus what I'd been
studying and learn how to apply that knowledge to the test."

"My instructor has to be the one of the most intelligent
individuals I have ever met. He presented a course that
was very structured, well-paced, and easy to follow. My
praises go out to your course and to him."

*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.
