filbert127 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Hello all- I need to take the GRE this summer, and I have two options to help me prepare for it. For the same price (~$1,000), I could obtain 24 hours of: - Kaplan on-site (in a classroom) GRE Prep - Math and Verbal GRE 1-1 tutoring with tutors off the internet (via http://www.wyzant.com) Kaplan does this type of thing all the time, so they have an advantage regarding organization, planning and test-taking tips. However, the course is 45 minutes away, and on somebody else's schedule, covering material for a whole classroom. Private tutoring off the internet will give me someone who knows the material, but who probably never has- or has little experience- tutored the GRE. I've used this website before, and found it to be a "mixed bag". So far, I've found 2 decent candidates- 1 for verbal, 1 for quant. Thoughts? PS Thanks in advance for reading the post and your insight, I appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktcan10 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Have you considered Kaplan's "Classroom Anywhere" option? I'm currently taking my GRE prep class with Kaplan Anywhere, and I LOVE it. You need an internet connection and um, that's it. They have two options...a pre-recorded lecture, or an actual interactive session with a classroom instructor where you can ask questions and so forth in real time. I believe it's actually cheaper than the in-classroom option, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
