Hi – I plan on taking the GRE this October and instead of the super pricey Princeton Review course I’ve been looking at test prep given help by tutors online such as TutorVista. Has anyone used them? Are they credible, did it help? What are the other best test prep methods you’ve used?
Thanks much!

I don’t know how similar the two tests are, but I was thinking I could just sign up for a Princeton Review or a Kaplan course for the MCAT and that might also prepare me for the GRE. The courses are very expensive.

Also, if you recommend that I take a prep class for both tests, could I take them at the same time?

Do you think it is necessary to take both tests? My situation is difficult because I plan on going into the Peace Corps before I go to graduate or medical school, and I’m not sure which I want to do at this point, but I want to take the tests before I go into the Peace Corps, even if I have to take them again later.

Any help you could give me is greatly appreciated, I can’t find information about this anywhere!

Are courses like Kaplan and Princeton review worth the cost or will the published books with sample questions adequate?

Can anyone give me advice on the math section of the GRE? I am horrid at math, and the best score I’ve gotten out of the three times I’ve taken the GRE is a 370. I’ve tried Princeton Review (online course and book), Kaplan’s review, and many other GRE books. I don’t know what to do but I retake the exam on the 29th of Jan. Any quick tips or helpful ideas are welcome Thanks!

Don’t tell me princeton review, as I discovered the hard way that its only a scam as well as the other study guides. So how can I learn all that potential vocab and learn how to master those word problems in a practical, my last scores were embarrasingly low, all that studying I did was for nothing, please help!

I’m looking into taking a GRE prep course, but would like to hear from people. Good, bad? Kaplan, Princeton Review, other? Private tutoring, online tutoring, alternate methods?

Did you find their methods helpful? Bad? Did you get your money’s worth? Did you get the refund they promise if you don’t raise your scores?

I am looking EXPERIENCES about the prep courses. I know a lot of people just say study from the books, there are online things, etc. but I’m trying to gather as much information as possible.

What type of prep class, in-class, private tutor or online, did you take? Who taught it (kaplan, princeton review, etc)? Did you like it? Was it helpful?
- Thanks

GRE online prep courses, in-class prep courses, etc. and by who? (kaplan, princeton review, etc…)
What was your experience with the prep course you took?
By who and and what type (online or in-class, private tutor)?

I would love top hear personal experiences with some of the more popular (and unpopular) prep courses, like Princeton Review, Kaplan or Testmasters. Also, has anyone heard of MILC? They guarantee a score of at least 1300 on the GRE. Any input on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I was checking my college bookstore and I found a few GRE study guides. There was a general one, a Kaplan, Barrons, Princeton Review. Which of those would be of the most benefit? If there is a different one give me the name of it, and any other suggestions for studying. What about the LSAT I’m going to start studying for that as well. Thanks.

What is the best GRE prep book? Kaplan? Princeton Review? Barrons? what?

Barrons

Kaplan

REA

800ScoreGre

Princeton Review

I’ve looked through examples in these books..and they all vary somewhat in difficulty level. I would like to know from those of you who have taken the gre recently, or at least have a knowledge of it, which book you would best recommend..

thanks for the help!

I am about two weeks away from taking the Biology Subject Test GRE and four weeks away from taking the General GRE. Does anyone who has taken these tests before have any study suggestions? I already have the study materials from Kaplan and have the Princeton Review Cracking the GRE guides on the way. Would it be a wise idea to go back through my notes and texts from my undergrad courses and re-read these? Any and all tips would be GREATLY appreciated!

I have an 8 week study guide from the Princeton Review, but some people say you need 6 months! In all reality, am I kidding myself to think I can do well just studying 8 weeks? I study everyday for hours…

ok, so i want to take the SAT 2 Biology and I have The Princeton Review :Cracking the GRE Biology book. I want to know is there a difference between Cracking the GRE Biology book and Cracking the SAT Biology E/M. Help would be much appreciated.

Please reply asap as this is urgent. I’ve been using Peterson’s to prepare for my general subject GRE test which is on September 9th for a while now but my cousin who aced her GRE’s (just started her master’s at Harvard University last month) recently suggested that I use the Princeton Review, Kaplan or Barron’s. She didn’t mention Peterson’s so I don’t know if I should take that to mean that Peterson’s is not a very good guide to use for studying.

When do the new write-in quantitative and multi-answer verbal questions that appear on the GRE begin to count towards your score? Currently, it seems like the GRE is just looking to see if those questions are reliable and valid. But I heard that starting on October, they’ll begin to count towards your score. Does anyone know if this is true? I can’t find any information confirming this notion, but a Princeton Review guy told me it was true.

I’m taking the GRE biology test in a 2 months and I’m planning to buy a book to study with, but I’m not sure which is better, Princeton review or Kaplan?
