GRE Prep Course for the General Test, Online
The GRE is under two hours and adaptive by section: how you do on the first Verbal and Quant sections decides how hard the second ones are. For graduate applicants — and for funding decisions, which often lean on the GRE — the first sections deserve the most careful preparation.
Short answer
GRE preparation is offered online, one-to-one or in a group class.
One-to-one lessons are 90 minutes long and start at USD 80 per lesson; the group course runs 72 lessons of 60 minutes for USD 1,050, and a class never takes more than 6 students.
Group classes next begin on 14 November 2026.

What the GRE is used for
The GRE General Test is used for admission to master’s and doctoral programmes, mainly in the United States and Canada and widely elsewhere, and by many business and law schools as an alternative to the GMAT or LSAT. For students applying from Africa to funded graduate programmes, the GRE can also count towards scholarship and assistantship decisions, which makes the score worth more than the admission threshold alone suggests.
How the GRE General Test is structured
| Section | Questions | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Analytical Writing | One “Analyze an Issue” task | 30 minutes |
| Verbal Reasoning 1 | 12 | 18 minutes |
| Verbal Reasoning 2 | 15 | 23 minutes |
| Quantitative Reasoning 1 | 12 | 21 minutes |
| Quantitative Reasoning 2 | 15 | 26 minutes |
Source: ETS, GRE General Test structure, checked 22 September 2026. About 1 hour 58 minutes in total. Verbal and Quant are each scored 130–170; Analytical Writing 0–6. The second Verbal and Quant sections adapt to performance on the first.
What the GRE prep course works on
Verbal: vocabulary in context
Text completion and sentence equivalence reward vocabulary used precisely, not memorised lists. Reading is trained on the short, dense passages the test uses.
Quant: accuracy and comparison
Quantitative comparison questions have their own logic; many errors come from not recognising when the answer cannot be determined.
The Issue essay
One argued position, examples and a counter-argument in thirty minutes. Essays are written under time and marked against the scoring guide.
The first section of each measure
Because it sets the difficulty of the second, the opening section is practised under exam conditions from early on.
How GRE preparation works
Every lesson is live, online and 90 minutes long, scheduled in your own time zone. Lessons are taught in English, the language the exam is sat in.
Free intro call
Fifteen minutes with an advisor, at no cost and with no obligation.
Diagnostic
You sit a free full-length diagnostic in the real exam format before any lesson is booked. It produces a starting score and, more usefully, an error profile: which question types are costing marks, whether the problem is content or timing, and which sections need a specialist. The plan is written from that rather than from an estimate. It is taken online at a time you choose, so nobody has to travel to a centre to find out where they stand.
Written plan
You receive a written plan built from your starting point and your test date: which GRE sections come first, how many lessons that realistically takes, and when full practice tests enter. Nobody is sold a fixed number of lessons before the gap is known.
Lessons and review
Each lesson ends with set work and a target for the next one. Families receive progress notes, and the plan is re-read against every new score rather than followed blindly.
