Notes
Total
Lecture Hours: These figures represent the total amount of live
lecture time for each course. The figures in this row may also vary
by location as some Kaplan and Princeton Review courses may have
fewer or greater hours.
Minimum
Instructor GRE Percentile: The Minimum Instructor GRE Percentile
is determined by the results of an Educational Testing Service (ETS)-administered
GRE and corresponding percentiles. 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. Some other companies,
including Kaplan and Princeton Review, allow instructor applicants
to come to their offices to take a pre-hiring GRE. However, since
these GREs are not administered by ETS nor do they produce national
score percentiles, these companies therefore have no minimum national
standard.
Personal
Set of Every Available Real GRE Question?: Each student in the
PowerScore GRE class receives a personal copy of the GRE Practicing
to Take the General Test, 10th Edition. This publication-from ETS,
the makers of the test-contains every currently available real GRE
question.
Total
Course Cost: Costs for our competitors may vary by location.
The PowerScore GRE course has a uniform national price of $395.
Cost
per Lecture Hour: These figures are rounded to the nearest whole
number. The figures show how much a student pays per hour of lecture
time (total course cost divided by total lecture hours) for each
company. Lower figures are preferable!
