GRE Prep Tutoring

As you know if you are tutoring or taking the GRE soon, the format on this exam will be changing on August 1st. I'll be starting a new student this week who plans to take the "old" exam in mid-July. (The later-July exam dates have all filled as students scramble to take this exam version.)

I use the Kaplan GRE Math and Verbal workbooks (image links below) because, as I mentioned previously, students seem to do better with learning content when it's presented in workbook form. These books give lots of practice both by knowledge area (general, algebra, geometry) and also by question type (quantitative comparisons, word problems, and data representation).

I simply take the number of tests in each manual and divide it among the number of weeks I'll be meeting with the student. This way we'll know how much ground we'll need to cover each week in both in-session and home study.

Links to workbooks for the current GRE are found below; workbooks for the New GRE are available as well.
