[Tanya Quist]

Subject: Spring GRE Workshop opportunity

The following information can be found at http://www.grad.arizona.edu/gre 

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 GRE workshops on the UA campus since 2000 and has received
consistently positive feedback. 

There are three components to this workshop:

1.      practice tests -- The course begins with a 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.
