Few prospects are
as frightening to graduate school candidates as taking the GRE. From an
admissions
perspective, your concern is not without merit. After years of hard work,
your odds
of getting into a top-tier program may ultimately hinge on your performance
on this marathon, one-
day exam. Not surprisingly, the marketplace is filled with books, tapes,
CDs and training classes
for the GRE. Despite the differences in format and price, the underlying
approach for these products
is eerily similar; students are advised to read an 800- page book, memorize
several thousand vocabulary
words and review every math topic known to man.
Sadly, the results
of this marathon approach are rarely successful. Even worse, this tedious
cramming is largely
unnecessary. Although the GRE requires an excellent math background and
a fairly sophisticated
vocabulary, it is a highly predictable test that uses the same
type of questions (and the same
clues and traps) over and over again. For diligent test takers, this predictability
offers a great
competitive advantage, if you know how to harness it.
Ironically, most GRE
guides do NOT teach their readers how to do this. In fact, from our perspective,
the
most popular books are as onerous and intimidating as the exam itself.
Although many of them offer helpful
suggestions, the typical test taker does not have the time to wade through
hours of sample exams (with
overly easy “mock” questions), to get to the most usable and
practical advice. Far too often, students toss
the guides aside after a few hundred pages, without getting the details
they need to attain a top
score. Inevitably, they walk out of the GRE frustrated and disappointed,
wishing there had been a
better way to prepare for such a life-changing exam.
Ultimately, that is
why we wrote the following efficient, well-organzied digital publications
- there IS a
better way
to conquer the GRE without driving yourself crazy. To learn more about
these guides - and to view sample
