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;<b><i><u> however, seats are still available.</u></i></b><br><br>There are three components to this workshop.<br>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.<br>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.<br>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.<br><br>Additional Information:<br><br>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.<br>· Saturday, August 27 (9 AM to 5 PM)<br>· Sunday, August 28 (9 AM to 1 PM)<br>· Saturday, September 10 (9 AM to 5 PM)<br>· Sunday, September 11 (9 AM to 1 PM)<br><br>Cost: $250 (This represents a significant savings over the cost of many other GRE courses)<br><br>To request a seat in the workshop, please contact Michael Flynn by email: <a href="mailto:gradpros@gmail.com">gradpros@gmail.com</a><br><br>Additional questions may be directed to Stephanie Adamson (<a href="mailto:adamsons@email.arizona.edu">adamsons@email.arizona.edu</a>) in the UA Graduate College.<br><br><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Script MT Bold"'>Stephanie Adamson<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal>Assistant Director, Recruitment<br>Graduate College <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The University of Arizona<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>1031 N Mountain Avenue<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Tucson, AZ 85721-0102<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>520-626-0095<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
