Frequently Asked Questions About GRE Prep

  1. Manhattan Prep is the premier provider of GRE test prep. Our 99th percentile scoring instructors use their years of teaching experience to create all of our lessons, books, practice problems, and other study materials. Many of them earned their GRE score by studying exclusively MPrep materials. They’ll teach you to ace the GRE just like they did!

Absolutely! Our GRE instructors are first-class and our resources span from hundreds of GRE Vocab flashcards to classes that teach all the strategy you’ll need for test day. Use what you need to get to the level you want.

It varies depending on how much time you want with a GRE teacher. If you prefer a live test prep course (with all GRE study materials included), you’ll spend about $1,399 to $1,599. On-demand prep courses with interactive video lessons will cost between $299 and $499. A Foundations of Math GRE Course will cost only about $200.

A lot of people think that Manhattan Prep GRE practice tests are harder than the real thing. We do our best to mimic the official exams as closely as we can...but we also don’t want the real test to feel harder than anything you’ve ever practiced. So, yes, if we do have to err on one side or the other, we try to err a little on the harder side. (We do adjust our scoring algorithm, though, to try to mimic as closely as possible the score that you might get on the real test.)

As accurate as possible. We’ve studied all the released test questions and developed a scoring algorithm that closely matches the real GRE. Manhattan Prep also hosts the only adaptive GRE practice tests that include an unscored experimental section, making Manhattan Prep the only place that recreates the full structure and experience of the official test.

Preparation is essential for the GRE. The best preparation depends on you as a student, your starting point, and your goal score. If you’re a great self-studier, the Interact Lessons may be a perfect fit. If you get a lot out of working with an instructor, a course or tutoring may be better. Whatever you decide, develop a study schedule and check in frequently to make sure you’re making the progress you intended.

An average GRE score is around 150 to 153 for each section. A good GRE score depends entirely on your goal school. Some schools put a high emphasis on the GRE, and others don’t. A “good” GRE score can be anywhere from 150 to 170. Explore your goal school’s site to see where they want you to fall on that spectrum.

On average, students tend to study about 3 months for the GRE, though some spend significantly more or less time than that. An in-depth look at the GRE, either through a course or self study, often takes around 2 months, and we recommend an additional month of review and practice after that to perfect the new skills you are developing. Typically students study around 10-20 hours per week during that 3 month period.

It depends entirely on your current comfort level with the GRE and your ultimate goal. Improving your GRE score requires mastering content you may have forgotten or maybe never even learned, along with developing new skills that apply specifically to the test. The GRE is not an easy exam, and most test-takers will have to devote at least a few hours a week for a couple of months to studying before they feel prepared.
