GRE FLEXIBLE ONLINE PROGRAM

GRE Flexible Online Program

The GRE Flexible Online Program is the asynchronous version of the GRE Class Room Integrated Batch Program. You enjoy the same class experience of students of regular online batches and you have the freedom to attend classes and take tests at your own time and pace.

The GRE Flexible Online Program is designed for students who :

1. If you have two to four months to prepare for the GRE
2. Learn at your own pace, attend classes and take tests at your own time
3. Program is conducted on the lines of an offline classroom program and capitalizes on the benefits of an online program

The GRE Flexible Online Program covers each topic in five stages :

1. Analysis of Student Performance - The program commences with a Benchmarking Test taken by the student at home or our learning centre. The reported performance of the student is assessed and an Analysis of Test Performance Report is prepared by teachers and is discussed with the student.
2. Learning and Benchmarking Stage –
   1. As the first part of the class room program, the student attempts a Pre-Work assignment to increase familiarity with a topic and understand the challenges involved.
   2. To begin the real learning, you attend classes where your teacher teaches you all the topics that appear on the GRE. Your teacher will teach you each and every subtopic and concept tested on the GRE.
   3. After teaching of concepts, your teacher will subject you to concept-testing to identify any concepts that you may not have understood.
   4. Then your teacher will attempt some real GRE questions to make you understand how to apply the learnt concepts to solve questions.
   5. As a next step your teacher will give you a class-exercise with real GRE questions, from The Official Guide to the GRE by the ETS, as a final test of your competence and identify any loopholes that may still be present and we plug them up.
   6. Homework is assigned at the end of each class. Homework is designed to recall and revise class learning. Homework comprises of attempting the taught topics in a homework-workbook topic-wise. This workbook comprehensively covers all concepts and strategies needed to excel in the verbal section of GRE. It would have concepts in three formats
      1. Revision - Written concepts to be learnt
      2. Recall - Concepts with blanks to be filled up to check your present situation.
      3. Practice - Objective questions to be attempted to check your present situation.
3. Concept Clarity Stage - After you have completed a certain module of the workbook, you can match your responses with ideal responses. If you make a certain mistake or if you do not attempt a certain item, this indicates you need clarity on that concept and you can ask for help. This step will ensure that you master each and every concept and strategy needed to excel in every section of GRE.
4. Concept Application Stage - Last step is to apply your knowledge on a set of questionnaires. These questionnaires have all questions that have been tested in the official guides and papers released by ETS over the last twenty years. While practicing the questionnaires, you have to identify and address 4 types of questions :
   1. Questions that you cannot attempt
   2. Questions on which you mark a wrong answer
   3. Questions where you need a faster way to attempt
   4. Questions on which you have some confusion and need more clarity
5. Simulated Exam Stage – During the last stage you attempt Simulated / Mock Exams to understand, learn and excel in test dynamics. Here you learn how to build stamina to attempt a 4-hour test, do time management/pacing, learn to maximize scores with your present knowledge, and develop a test attitude.
