About the GRE

The GRE Test

Most colleges and universities use the GRE as an indicator of graduate-level academic success and, while most schools don?t have ?cut-off? scores, the GRE can be the deciding factor between otherwise equally qualified applicants.

While there are many self-study tools available, taking a prep course encourages students to feel a part of a learning community. Peer-learning experiences can help you stay focused as you learn strategies and face challenges as a team, fostering and guiding each other?s progress. Also, EC Boston students experience simulated real tests and a real test-taking environment. While it?s smart to have confidence in your abilities, taking standardized tests is something than can be improved upon with practice and the more realistic setting the better.
