Frequently Asked Questions

What is the GRE test format?

The GRE is a computer-delivered test with three main sections: Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, and Analytical Writing. The total testing time is approximately 3 hours and 45 minutes.

How soon before my test date should I take a prep course?

We recommend starting your preparation 2-3 months before your scheduled test date. This gives you enough time to learn strategies, practice extensively, and address any weak areas.

Do you guarantee score improvements?

While we can't guarantee specific score improvements, our students typically see significant increases in their practice test scores throughout the course, and many achieve their target scores on the actual exam.

All students receive comprehensive study materials including a course workbook, official GRE practice tests, vocabulary flashcards, and access to our online study portal with additional resources and practice questions.
