The workshop consists of three components:

1. practice tests -- The course will begin with an actual GRE practice test administered under simulated test conditions. Scores will be analyzed to determine areas of strength and weakness for each participant. Two additional practice tests (computer adaptive) will be taken throughout the course.
2. group instruction -- Test-taking strategies for the quantitative, verbal and writing sections of the GRE will be covered along with time management, stress/anxiety and other topics relating to test performance. Timed sections will be administered to assess individual strengths/weaknesses and to improve pacing.
3. office hours with instructor -- The instructor, Michael Flynn, is Executive Director of Grad Pros Educational Consulting and former admissions committee member at Harvard University and the UCSD School of Medicine. Office hours will allow for individual and small group instruction.
