I was juggling a hectic final year of my undergraduate studies, which left me with only bits and pieces of time to dedicate to GRE prep. My verbal reasoning score had been stuck for months, even after I had tried every free online resource I could find. I found myself trapped in a cycle of memorizing vocabulary without making any real progress in my critical reading skills. The turning point came when I decided to stop the generic studying and reached out for GRE test preparation help from a tutor who specialized in the verbal section of the GRE. During our first session, she quickly pinpointed that my main problem wasn’t my vocabulary; it was my approach to tackling complex passage structures. She replaced my haphazard practice with a structured method for breaking down arguments and anticipating questions, offering immediate feedback that I could never get from a book. This focused, strategic coaching was exactly what I needed to finally break through my plateau, boosting my verbal score by 6 points and giving me the competitive edge I was looking for in my graduate school applications.
