Subject: Fall 2011 GRE workshop seats available

 

The Graduate College encourages students to prepare for the Graduate Record
Examination (GRE) through formal or informal instruction and study, as
appropriate to the individual. For those students seeking professional
assistance, one option to consider is a workshop led by Michael Flynn,
Executive Director of Grad Pros Educational Consulting. Mr. Flynn has
facilitated a number of workshops on the UA campus and has received
consistently positive feedback.  This workshop is filling up fast; however,
seats are still available.

There are three components to this workshop.
1.       practice tests -- The course begins with an actual GRE practice
test administered under simulated test conditions. Scores will be analyzed
to determine areas of strength and weakness for each participant. One
additional practice test will be taken in class, and another will be taken
at home to familiarize students with the GRE's computer format.
2.       group instruction -- Test-taking strategies for the quantitative,
verbal and writing sections of the GRE will be covered along with time
management, stress/anxiety and other topics relating to test performance.
Timed sections will be administered to assess individual
strengths/weaknesses and to improve pacing.
3.       extra help from the instructor -- The instructor, Michael Flynn, is
Executive Director of Grad Pros Educational Consulting and former admissions
committee member at Harvard University and the UCSD School of Medicine.
Extra help will be available during and after the workshop.

Additional Information:

Dates: The fall 2011 workshop is designed to be completed over 4 days, as
noted below. As new material is presented in each class, students need to
commit to attending all four days of the workshop. The workshop is held on
the UA campus.
.         Saturday, August 27 (9 AM to 5 PM)
.         Sunday, August 28 (9 AM to 1 PM)
.         Saturday, September 10 (9 AM to 5 PM)
.         Sunday, September 11 (9 AM to 1 PM)

other GRE courses)
