How does the GRE preparation course work?

At Yeda Plus, we give students clear and comprehensive tools to succeed on the GRE exam.
During our GRE preparation course, all topics on the test are taught in a systematic and in-depth manner.
In addition, students are familiarized with the GRE test structure and taught helpful strategies to answer the various types of questions.
Alongside the material learned in class, students are given homework and assignments to hone their skills, with instructors available for guidance.
At the end of the course, students undergo GRE simulations to practice under real exam conditions.

Professional GRE Instructors

The Yeda Plus GRE test preparation course is delivered by professional teachers who have passed the GRE test in its top percentage, with a score of at least 95%.
Our experienced teachers have been trained in North America and are up to date on the most current tools for teaching GRE test prep at an international standard.

GRE course language

As the GRE test itself is conducted in English, we have found that conducting the GRE course in English prepares students from the start for success on the test.
Students learn concepts and terms in the language in which they will appear on the test, without having to worry about translating them.
Our instructors are familiar with the equivalent Hebrew terms and are happy to assist with any questions.
In addition, studying in English allows for uninterrupted immersion in the language, at an advanced level with professional supervision.
This helps students not only to pass the GRE test but to prepare for high-level academic study in English.

Attention to the student in the GRE Test preparation course

In order to make sure that each student gets the most out of the course, there is an emphasis on creating small and intimate class groups that allow for attention to each student.
Our small GRE class sizes enable the instructor to tailor instruction according to the needs of the group, giving attention to the development and improvement of the students’ abilities down to the smallest details.

About the GRE Test

Used for general graduate admissions, the GRE exam is an adaptive test taken electronically at a certified ETS center. The exam is adaptive, and test-takers’ performance in each section determines the level of the following section they will be shown. The GRE assesses applicants’ academic ability, such as argumentation, vocabulary, logic and analytical/ quantitative skills in order to provide graduate programs with a standardized evaluation of applicants’ academic promise.

GRE test Structure

The 2-hour exam is comprised of three sections: Analytical Writing, Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning.
You can take the test once every 21 days. GRE tests in Israel take place at Ramat Gan College and the exam costs $220.
Analytical Writing (AWA) – graded on a 0-6 scale. Involves a 30-minute “analyze an issue” task. This section will always appear first on the exam.
Verbal Reasoning – graded on a 130-170 scale. Multiple-choice questions focusing on academic vocabulary (Text Completion & Sentence Equivalence), logic and reading comprehension.
Quantitative Reasoning – graded on 130-170 scale. Multiple-choice, numeric entry, and quantity comparison questions on various math topics, such as statistics, geometry, algebra, word problems, and data analysis.
