...that you chose us to help you prepare for the GMAT. This course provides two important benefits: • A review of the content tested by the GMAT • Test-taking strategies to help you maximize your performance The Quantitative (or Math) section of the GMAT tests concepts from high school arithmetic, algebra, and geometry. The Verbal section measures your reading, grammar, and logical reasoning skills. The Analytical Writing Assessment essay tests your organization and writing skills. The Integrated Reasoning section tests much of the same content that you see on the Math and Verbal sections but does so using question formats that often display data in charts or tables. You have seen most of these topics previously, in high school or elsewhere. However, you probably haven’t used these skills in quite some time. This course will review these areas and introduce you to a few topics you may not have seen before. In addition to reviewing the material tested by the GMAT, you will learn testtaking strategies to help you best use your knowledge within the format of the test. You will learn the traps the test writers set for you and learn how to avoid them. You will learn how to use the multiple-choice format to your advantage. We’ll cover everything you need to know to meet the specific challenges posed by the GMAT. Use the multiple-choice format to your advantage. Structure of the Course The Princeton Review GMAT course consists of seven parts: pre-class assignments...

...10 Steps to Earn a High GRE Score The following is a guide to scoring high on the GRE test. If you follow these steps, your GRE score will improve. 1. Relax: Preparing for the GRE can be stressful. Try to focus on the task at hand and not so much on everything else you have to do. If you take GRE test prep step-by-step, day-by-day, and give yourself breaks when your body needs them, you'll be able to concentrate on GRE studies a lot better. 2. GRE Diagnostic Test: Begin GRE test prep with a GRE practice test to find out what you're good at, and more importantly, what you're not good at. Correct your completed practice test and evaluate the questions you missed. What kind of questions did you miss? Are they mostly Quantitative or mostly Verbal? What score would you give yourself on Analytical Writing? Did you miss a lot of analogies but do well on reading comprehension? With this information you'll be able to focus your GRE test prep studies on your weaknesses. 3. GRE Study Plan: With your GRE weaknesses in mind, make a very specific study plan for yourself. You should know what, how, and when you are going to study for the GRE test. Put your study plan somewhere in plain view, and make sure you stick to your plan. Try to keep GRE test prep interesting by planning to study different things in different ways. For example, study GRE vocabulary from flash cards one day, from a list the second day, and by reading and learning words in context the third day. 4. GRE Vocabulary: ...
