Administered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS), the Graduate Record Examination (GRE®) serves as one of the most important factors for admission to non-business graduate schools across the United States.

The GRE® measures the verbal, quantitative, and analytical writing skills that have been developed in the course of an academic career. As high GRE® scores are proven to correlate with the probability of success in graduate school, the higher one scores, the more likely one is to successfully complete a graduate degree. For this reason, many graduate and professional schools require applicants to take the GRE® General Test before applying.

In addition to our premier, private GRE® instruction, Help Mountain offers small, exclusive GRE® courses at both of our New Jersey locations, and across the country via The Online Classroom™.

Help Mountain’s GRE® classes cover the key factors for success on the GRE® – in-depth.

This six-week, 36-hour course (three weeks and 18 hours for the GRE® Mini-Course™) follows the newest edition of the renowned 600-page Barron’s GRE™ coursebook, covering the following at a high level:

* Verbal Ability: Tactics, Strategies, Review, and Practice
* Analytical Writing: Tactics, Strategies, Review, and Practice
* Quantitative Ability: Tactics, Strategies, Review, and Practice
* Vocabulary at the Graduate Level
* Speed-Reading
* Time Control on the GRE®

Help Mountain’s highly-rated GRE coursebook, Barron’s GRE™, contains full practice tests and detailed reviews. With 600 pages and 15 chapters, the coursebook is packed with the most up-to-date information students need to get ready for the GRE® – directly from the experts themselves.

The course and coursebook offer prospective graduate students intensive preparation for the GRE®, providing perspectives on the exam with a GRE® overview, advice on effective test-taking tactics, and a diagnostic test to help students pinpoint their strengths and weaknesses. The included coursebook reviews all GRE® test areas and includes practice exercises for the following topics: antonym, analogy, and sentence-completion questions, reading comprehension, vocabulary, analytical writing, discrete quantitative questions, quantitative comparison questions, data interpretation questions, and mathematics. The coursebook concludes with five full-length GRE® exams that reflect recent GRE® exams in length, question types, and degree of difficulty. All questions are then answered and explained.

Help Mountain’s intensive and dynamic GRE® courses, both private and class-based, enhance critical thinking, problem-solving, speed-reading, reading comprehension, mathematical skills, and much more, while demystifying concepts that other GRE® programs leave behind — guaranteed.

Help Mountain’s students gain valuable experience, and raise their confidence levels by taking practice tests, reviewing critical concepts and test-taking approaches, and by completing focused sets of practice questions just like those on the actual GRE®, all with the guidance of a qualified Help Mountain Instructor.
