Test Drive Our Course - No Obligations

Although we’ve received lots of positive reviews via forum posts, email submissions and video submissions, we think you should make an informed decision by first previewing the dozens of free videos on this site, including our entire Quantitative Comparison, Analytical Writing, and General Strategies lesson modules. Just click Video Course (top navigation bar) to start your test drive.

Pro tip: you can speed up or slow down video playback via the settings icon on the video player.

No email address or no credit card required
A shoe store would never require your email address and credit card information before trying on a pair of shoes, so why should things be different when buying a GRE prep course?

Thanks for your interest in my GRE preparation course!

About Me:

2013 to present: updated videos to reflect changes to the GRE
Present: Our YouTube channel has over 2.7 million views

I look forward to sharing with you everything I’ve learned, and supporting you every step of the way!

Incredibly Helpful

I watched every Greenlight video and found their test prep questions incredibly helpful (i.e. question prompt, answer the question, see the explanation). Highly recommended. If I could do it over again I would have ONLY used Greenlight.

Clear and Concise

Everything was clear and concise! I really liked the organization of each video. The tips for this class helped me to improve my studying for the GRE last year. A good course with a lot of necessary knowledge about GRE. I really enjoyed this course, when I took it last year. Great tips! They really made sense and made things easier. I just hope I can remember them all! Provides very nice strategies for test taking beyond simply the ability to solve for quantitative problems. It makes easy understanding of mathematics, it’s a great lesson. I really appreciate it. Thanks a lot.

A Lot of Time Saving Tips

I tried Greenlight on a whim while sampling a few different resources, and I got hooked on the presenting style pretty quickly. I started by glossing over some simple topics, and ended up learning a lot of time-saving tips in examples I thought would be mundane. Overall, the format of the material really resonated with me. I found Greenlight to be an efficient use of me efforts.

You Are the Best!

I learnt more for the AWA section than the paid guides I bought. Keep up the good work. Thank you so much for your great, adorable and useful videos. You are the best! Really great.

You Are a Lifesaver!

Dude, thanks a lot. You have the best GRE prep in YouTube by FAR. Really, awesome job! You are a lifesaver!! Thank you for these videos!!

Well Worth the Money

In a nutshell, the content and instruction for the Math module is outstanding and matchless. The instructor provides the techniques to solve the problems and breaks the parts into easy steps. If you follow the steps, the problems can be solved. Very impressive Math module. The verbal section is also very detailed with many examples. I finally understood how to find assumptions in arguments after watching the videos. I have taken other courses but remained confused but these videos helped clarified many concepts. I never had a math teacher as good as the instructor of these videos. Will be well worth the money.

Massive Thanks to Brent

Massive thanks to Brent, because I found out the website from one of his posts. I watched all of the videos for Verbal and Writing sections.

Simple Yet Comprehensive

The Greenlight Test Prep platform is a simple yet comprehensive way of getting to know the exam and understanding how the test makers are going to test you or rather try to make sure that you know your stuff and are adept at recognizing tricky questions. The key is to go by the concept. Remember the mantra: understand, practice and improve on the weaklings. Despite the fact that you might know all the math formulae and have a deep understanding of the concepts as well as you are well versed with the vocabulary, the most important thing for the exam is practice and time management. My experience with this platform has been an amazing one.

Thanks For All Your Help!

I ended up using GreenLight's practice questions as a main resource for studying (also found a free PDF of Manhattan's 5lb book), and ended up with a 163V/165Q! Thanks for all your help!
