(This can also be used for other math needs, like school reviews, professional gaps or personal goals.) So add to successful execution of the math strategies on the Revised GRE test by getting underlying math skills in order! (Scroll to the bottom of this page for more about the Refresher.)

    GRE Prep Course

      Both genders have unique GRE challenges: Women face several male biases hardwired into the GRE test structure; test and academic statistics show that as a group, women out of school for a few years are chronically under-predicted for grad success by their GRE test results. They go on to outperform all other groups. These test factors are countered by class approaches and strategies. Men find the class a real boon also. Men often discover that their “tried and true” approaches falter in the decoys planted in the test. Both genders widely herald the training’s effectiveness and how it speaks to their unique psychologies. Additionally, Mark Wahl goes out of his way to advise on individual concerns and issues that arise, offering advice during breaks, after the class, and by email.

      And oh yes, the affordable price: Just $250, no extra service fees, no tax, and free parking! It’s all direct instruction time, no large blocks used for classroom testing and study halls that some courses charge big bucks for. (You do this testing and practice on your own with Mark Wahl’s guidance.) The one-evening power-packed Basic Math Refresher, which reviews, clarifies and builds confidence, is just $90 additional.

      Don’t let the low fees imply low quality. Your teacher Mark Wahl has 23 years experience teaching test strategies; he has published four books, trained teachers, and has thousands of satisfied students. Local ownership lowers costs—a part of the fees even supports local nonprofit services. No national corporate franchise fees and high building overhead to jack prices as happens with the Princeton-Review ($1050), Stanley Kaplan ($1200) and others. This is worth even a drive from Tacoma, Bellevue, or Bothell!

    NOTE (Registering for your individualized GRE test time):

    The General GRE test itself is registered separately from this course. You can get information on many aspects of the GRE General Test from the ETS Company at ETS.org. The Mountlake Terrace Prometric Test Center is closest to Seattle (with a Puyallup one near Tacoma). It is booked through Prometric.com or 800-GRE-CALL for actual registration. You can choose an individual time and date for your GRE test taking. If you find yourself too rushed after scheduling you can reschedule up to 10 days before your test date for an extra fee (worth it if you still are not rightly psychologically or mentally positioned for the test).

    NOTE (Math skills):

    This course assumes a functioning ability with pre-algebra/algebra/geometry skills, as well as new number theory/data/probability/story problem concept areas well as some new data items that have been added (like the normal curve and standard deviation). If you feel you are too rusty, uninformed, or never very successful in math, or you have math fears, please consider this single-session (4-1/4 hours) taught by nationally recognized math learning specialist Mark Wahl: the Basic Math Refresher Course.

      Study Materials:

      The pricey courses supply all study materials, it’s true, and we too give informative classroom handouts, but with us you get to select and buy your own study books that meet your personal learning needs. How? Mark Wahl carefully guides you through a small list of tried-and-true resources: your individualized choices may total $40-$100. (Some are available elsewhere but they are offered for your convenience and browsing at the course, purchasable at 5-10% discount.)

      So sign up for expert training, good accessibility to the right study resources, and a more personal, interactive, incisive, direct approach with less fluff than the corporate blue chip classes…all at a supremely affordable price. By the way, it’s effective! See a sample of our many positive testimonials.
