There are a variety of self-study books, from Barron and Kaplan for example, available on the market which can help teach you strategies for the Verbal, Math and essay sections of the test. There are study aids available for the GRE subject tests that you may be required to take if you are planning to go to a program in mathematics, science or English literature. However, it has been announced that the GRE is changing format in 2007. While the test is currently a computer-adaptive test, it will soon become a simple computer-based test. If you plan on taking the new GRE, then many books may be outdated. Be sure to check carefully before you buy.
In addition to self-study books, many students turn to prep classes or private GRE tutoring. While some tutoring centers like Sylvan do not offer GMAT, LSAT, MCAT or GRE tutoring, there are many others, like Princeton Review and Kaplan that offer quality GRE courses and one to one tutoring. The advantage of a large company is they have the resources to study the changes to the GRE format before the new test is introduced. They can teach you the best strategies for either the old or the new format.
Tutoring services such as a GRE prep course can help you prepare for test day by administering practice tests so you can familiarize yourself with the format. They will give you feedback on your strengths and weaknesses so you know what to focus on in your homework.
Also, they will teach you strategies for all parts of the test so you can get the skills you need to get a high score. Most of these companies are so successful at improving students' scores that you can take the complete course again for free if your score somehow does not improve.
Another option is private GRE tutors. With one-on-one tutoring you can focus on what you need to learn, not what your classmates need. Tutors give the most personalized schedules and assistance, and can help you with all aspects of the test, even picking your test date. If you're thinking about hiring a private tutor, make sure that they not only scored well on the GRE themselves, but also that they have the teaching skills necessary to help you learn.
With GRE tutoring, your score is usually guaranteed to improve. With the right preparation strategy, homework and motivation from a tutor or class teacher, you can go into the test full of confidence. GRE tutoring can open the door to higher scores and the graduate school of your dreams.
