Our Course

How does the Greenlight's GRE course compare with other GRE courses?

We're incredibly proud of this course. Each video lesson (over 500 videos altogether) was carefully scripted, illustrated and recorded to maximize learning and retention. We think it’s one of the best GMAT courses available. Also, be sure to check out the comprehensive Study Guide, which guides you step-by-step through your preparation.   

Will your program prepare me for every aspect of the GRE?

The Study Guide includes learning activities (videos, reading and practice questions) that cover all of the required concepts for the Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning, and Analytical Writing sections of the GRE. 

I have just begun my GRE preparation. Are your videos suitable for me?

This course will take you from novice to expert.  Every lesson module begins with the basic/foundational concepts and works up to 170-level concepts and strategies.  

I need very high GRE scores. Are your videos suitable for me?

The videos teach you how to tackle questions at all levels of difficulty.  If the GRE tests a particular topic, we cover that topic.  Since the videos cover all of the topics tested, they’re suitable for everyone. 

What are the technical requirement for viewing your videos?

Essentially, if you’re able to view the videos on the site, then your computer has the required software. The videos are hosted on Vimeo, a popular video host, so it's very rare that students are unable to view them. Having said that, residents of China are unable to view our videos, because the Chinese government has blocked Vimeo (along with many other websites). 

 

Can I download the videos to my computer?

No.  The videos are available only in streaming format.

How many hours of videos are in the entire Greenlight GRE course?

The total running time of the 500+ videos is over 31 hours. 

Do you have practice questions other than the video practice questions? 

Yes. Beneath most video lessons (e.g., the lesson on Mean, Median and Mode),  there are links to practice questions in the Reinforcement Activities boxes. In addition to those questions, you'll also find links more practice questions at the bottom of several modules (e.g., the Sentence Equivalence module). 

As I work my way through the Study Guide, is my progress saved?

Yes. The next time you log in, you will see which activities you have completed.

How long will it take me to complete the activities in the Study Guide?

Some students spread their GRE preparation over several months; others complete the activities in a matter of weeks.  To adequately prepare for the GRE, most students should plan to spend approximately one to four months studying.

To reach my target GRE scores, how many hours do I need to study?

This depends on your current abilities. Early in the Study Guide, you are directed to take a practice test to get a baseline score.  The greater the distance between your baseline scores and your target scores, the longer you must study.  The study time required will also depend on how effectively you study.  The Study Guide provides a focused approach that helps you maximize the effectiveness of every minute you spend preparing.

 

Full-Length Practice Tests 

Do you have your own practice tests?

No, but there are links to various practice tests on our Practice Tests page.

Please note that the best computer-adaptive practice tests are the free ones created by the creators of the official GRE questions.  These are the online POWERPREP II practice tests.  Because these test feature official GRE questions, they provide the most accurate assessment of your abilities.

How many times can I take each of the two practice tests found in the POWERPREP II software?

Each test (Test 1 and Test 2) draws questions from a different database of questions.  Since the number of questions in each database is finite, you will see repeated questions, but not enough so that you shouldn’t take each test more than once.

Our videos are hosted on Vimeo, a popular video host, so it's very rare that students are unable to view them. Having said that, residents of China are unable to view our videos, becuase the Chinese government has blocked Vimeo (and hundreds of other websites)
