   GRE Prep Guide for the Math and Verbal Sections


The 800score.com GRE Prep Guide was developed by consulting with the leading tutoring companies from around the world. We have improved our guide with feedback from thousands of our students over the last five years. Our developers take the GRE regularly to stay up to date with the latest questions so that there will be no surprises for you on test day.

First, we teach you the foundation of knowledge necessary for the GRE exam. This includes the basic math, grammar, reading, and reasoning skills for the Math and Verbal sections. There is no getting around this, you must learn the fundamentals before test day. For students aiming to score over 600, you will need to know the advanced topics such as standard deviation, probability and quadratic equations for the Math section and sophisticated reading techniques for the Verbal section.

Once you learn the fundamentals, you will learn strategies and techniques to apply your knowledge to complicated GRE questions. The questions you will encounter on test day employ sophisticated tricks to fool you into wasting time or choosing the wrong answer. The good news is that there is a limited number of trick question types, so it is possible to prepare for them in advance. Our system will introduce you to these tricks and show you how to beat them.

  • Over 300 Pages of Content: test-taking strategies sorted online for easy use and browsing. Course includes specific strategies for non-native English speakers and students aiming for a 600+ score.


  • Prioritized Content: If you are short on time, we prioritize content so that you can focus on what is absolutely necessary.
  • Identify Trick Questions: Take hundreds of sample questions to directly reinforce our techniques to beat the GRE's most challenging questions.
  • We are the experts in GRE pacing. We developed the Test Pacer system and apply this expertise to teach you effective time management.
