Although the format of each lesson booklet is unique, most follow a similar formula, each begins by describing a particular section on the GRE followed by the CL methodology for mastering that section finishing with the variety of practice drills and GRE questions. The practice GRE Questions are usually divided into three parts:

  • In class/Homework problems: typically taken from actual, previously released GRE. These questions are a random mix of medium and advanced difficulty level.
  • Homework drills: designed by the GRE experts at CL. These improve the skills necessary for a particular section of the GRE.

Lesson Overview:

GRE does not require any knowledge of calculus, trigonometry, or any math beyond the high school level. In the first lesson, students will learn basic definitions of prime numbers, quotients, and remainders, absolute values and solve arithmetic operations involving decimals, fractions, ratios, and percents. The algebra lesson addresses quadratic equations and multivariable algebraic equations, roots and exponents. The geometry lesson covers every thing a student needs to solve any GRE geometry problem.

Advanced quantitative lessons include data interpretation and probability as well as entire lesson on permutations and combinations. All students will learn proven strategies created to master problem solving and quantitative comparison questions of all kinds.

Early verbal lessons introduce techniques that make up the foundation of the CL methodology. Students will be introduced to

  • CLAW: an invaluable process for solving antonym problems with speed and confidence
  • CURE: a useful tool for simplifying analogy problems, improving accuracy and time management.
  • URAL: a foolproof approach for tackling sentence completion with efficiency and assurance

Later lessons also include timing drills and other proven test taking methods.
