This can be somewhat of a bitter pill to swallow: you will never feel ready to take the GRE. And that’s okay. You’re going to do it anyway. Just like courage isn’t the absence of fear, but the decision to act in the presence of fear, our approach to the test must be dictated by something other than our emotional response, which isn’t always the most accurate or reliable barometer. Orion and Davis discuss alternative methods of evaluating your preparedness in today’s episode.

Exciting news from Stellar! (get ready for the new GRE)

In today’s episode, Orion solves a single-blank text completion question in real-time using strategies from the Stellar system. With sufficient practice, students should be able to solve vocab-based questions like this in less than a minute -- though active use of the relevant techniques may be necessary to achieve this outcome. Efficient solution of vocab-based questions is essential to bank enough time to sufficiently read the texts associated with the reading comprehension questions.

Episode 70: How to solve a text completion question (a real-time demonstration)

The railroad system in Japan is one of the most efficient and complex in the world. It’s also one of the safest, and major accidents -- let alone delays -- are almost non-existent. In today’s episode, Orion shares one of Japan Railway’s secrets for ensuring close attention to detail under demanding time tables: the point-and-call system. The rest of the episode is devoted to discussing the implications of this system for reducing carelessness on the GRE.

Episode 69: Japan’s method of reducing error (the point-and-call system)

Since the GRE general test is the most commonly required standardized test for a graduate school application, many people aren’t even aware that the GRE subject tests exist. In today’s episode, we discuss what these tests are, how they differ from the GRE general test, and why anyone in their right mind might sit for them -- especially if they are not a required component of a grad school application. Listen to learn more.

Episode 68: What are the GRE subject tests? (and why to take them)

Davis and Orion respond to another question from a listener in today’s episode of GRE Bites. The request is from a student with an arts background who is concerned about his ability to score highly on the quantitative section of the test. Apparently, math has never come easy for him, and he is worried that this time around won’t be any different. Is it possible for folks who even struggle with the fundamentals of math to score highly on the GRE?
