   GRE Prep Guide for the Math and Verbal Sections

Our approach is to first teach you the foundation of knowledge necessary for the exam. This includes the basic math, vocabulary, 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 effective 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. We've developed these advanced strategies over the last 10 years by consulting with leading GRE tutors and college professors.

  • 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.
  • Identify Trick Questions: Take hundreds of sample questions to directly reinforce our techniques to beat the GRE's most challenging questions. All questions feature in-depth explanations so that you can learn from your mistakes.
  • Use of graphics and visuals. 800score's course is unique with its heavy use of cartoons, animation and graphics to help teach complex concepts. Here are examples from the course:


    Abstract concepts should be taught using graphics to help you visualize concepts
    and strategies.


    The 800score Reading Comprehension 5-Step Method

    Is this a persuasive essay or a descriptive one? Is it science or humanities?
    2. Break down each paragraph
    Look for main idea, tone and transitions.
    3. See the Organization
    Make a mental road map of the essay and/or draw out a map structure on your dry erase scratch paper.

    4.
    Find the Big Idea
    Look for unusual language that makes an important point.
    Pay special attention to the first and last paragraphs.
    5. Diagnose the author's purpose
