GRE Test Prep
The LAS Difference
GRE Scoring + the LAS Error Analysis
GRE scoring uses a scaled score for each section: Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, and Analytical Writing. The Verbal and Quantitative Reasoning sections convert raw scores to scaled scores between 130 and 170. The Analytical Writing section measures two writing tasks: Analyze an Issue and Analyze an Argument and converts raw scores to one scaled score between 0 and 6 with half-point increments.
Each scaled score corresponds to a percentile rank based on the number of people who have taken that GRE within the past three years and achieved at a lower score.
LAS Error Analyses are incorporated into GRE prep by integrating objective measures with self-reflective practices to maximize practice strategies, prioritize study goals, track progress, and assess GRE readiness.
LAS Test Prep Options
LAS Test Prep engages students to learn how to learn more efficiently, recall with greater accuracy, and achieve at higher levels. LAS Coaching provides structure, support, and accountability. LAS offers three test prep options in K-12, higher education, and graduate/medical education. Each option incorporates executive functioning skill-building and self-reflective practices.
One-on-one LAS Test Prep: Weekly coaching sessions are organized by exam section and introduce students to the GRE format, high-yield content, and test-taking strategies, section by section. One-on-one coaching sessions incorporate pre-and post-testing, error analysis, recall practice with spaced repetition, self-reflective practices, and progress tracking to meet individual learning goals and achievement outcomes.
LAS Hybrid Test Prep Group: Combines weekly group meetings with weekly one-on-one coaching sessions. Weekly coaching sessions are organized by exam section and introduce students to the GRE format, high-yield content, and test-taking strategies, section by section. LAS Test Prep incorporates pre-and post-testing, error analysis, recall practice with spaced repetition, self-reflective practices, and progress tracking to meet individual learning goals and achievement outcomes.
The LAS Crash Course: Offered 2-3 weeks before a national exam, the LAS Crash Course is designed for students with limited time to study, new to the test, or in need of a refresher. The LAS Crash Course includes 1-3 group meetings that teach the most essential test prep information, including test format, question content, and test-taking strategies for high-stakes exams. Students receive a resource packet, practice questions, and a study plan. This is a great option for last-minute test prep.
