"I didn't study as much as I wanted, so your prep course was practically my most intense preparation. Thank goodness I attended. I can't recommend it enough. Thanks for everything."
(Lee Anne Russell, RN, Nurse Educator, Scotland County, 2003 MSN-CRNA Cohort, Duke)

For 2012, PrepSuccess has slashed registration fees to levels last offered in 2007. While our country is embroiled in these difficult economic times, enjoy savings of up to $126 off course fees that were charged in 2011.

Overview: Over 3,000 working adults and students have attended PrepSuccess™ entrance exam prep courses and tutoring sessions. Participants to our courses have significantly increased their official scores by attending all classes and completing all assignments. We teach each course in traditional classrooms located in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill region of North Carolina and simultaneously broadcast the instruction over the Internet using WebEx so that students located beyond commuting distance can see, hear, and participate in every classroom activity. We also digitally record each course so that students can access each class over the Internet and experience everything that occurred in class. For more information on our web cast options, please visit Web Based Learning. 

FREE Classroom Visit: We invite you to attend the first 90 minutes of a class so that you can experience the PrepSuccess™ learning process as well as speak with the faculty and current students. We request that you not ask technical questions regarding the exam or test problems but rather sit back and experience the process. To schedule a visit, view the dates and times of classes in the table located at the bottom of this page and call 919-791-0810 to coordinate. Travel Guidance is provided to each course in the table, so ensure you print a copy of the directions prior to leaving for the class.

Course Descriptions: The 42-hour GRE PREP course consists of Math, Verbal, and Quantitative content taught over a period of seven weeks. Students complete six computer based tests outside normal class hours thus the time in class is focused 100% on instruction. You may attend 3-hour classes on Monday and Wednesday nights from 5:45 – 9 pm, or 6-hour classes on Saturdays from 8:45 am - 4 pm.

Math: We spend 14 hours reviewing arithmetic, algebra, word problems, geometry, graphs, and data analysis. You should be able to add, subtract, multiply, and divide without the use of a calculator which is not allowed in the official exam. Ensure you know your math tables COLD without the use of fingers and toes.

Verbal: We spend 14 hours reviewing all components of the GRE Verbal Reasoning section: Sentence Equivalence, Text Completion, Reading Comprehension, and Analytical Writing. We also provide exercises to build your vocabulary, a most important asset for the GRE. Mastering this content is essential for scoring at the 50th percentile or higher.

Quantitative: We spend 14 hours applying the content of the Math Prep course to the many, unusual questions you will see in the GRE Quantitative Reasoning section of the exam. We focus on techniques that will help you answer quantitative comparisons and discrete quantitative questions, and build on your knowledge of arithmetic, algebra, geometry, data and graph analysis, probability, and analysis of word problems.

Strategy: We integrate tips and tricks into the solution of each question so that YOU decide the approach that works best for you. We teach direct approaches which help you select the correct answer; we also teach indirect approaches which help you substitute or "back-solve" using answers that are supplied so that you can pick the best answer that fits the question.
