Sherpa Prep GRE Class
When I began looking at taking the GRE, I already had several GRE prep books but needed a thorough, in-person refresher of math concepts for the quantitative section of the exam. Sherpa Prep's course taught the math concepts in an easy to understand format that allowed me to re-learn all the math concepts that would be tested. I was initially hoping to score slightly above the 50th percentile in quant and after taking the Sherpa Prep class and working through all the assignments and extra access materials, I ended up scoring in the 76th percentile. Even though I already felt confident in my verbal section and writing skills, the tips and tricks provided in the class helped me tack on an extra 4 points in verbal and obtain a 5.0 (92nd percentile) on analytical writing. The one down side of being a small company is that they are not quite as technologically advanced as major companies like Kaplan and I had several technical issues with their online practice problems, but this is easily made up for by all the extra free access you're given to other programs' practice problems and practice exams. The teachers also made themselves constantly available to you. I would definitely recommend this class if you need a solid math refresher before taking the GRE! The price also can't be beat by other in-class GRE courses in the DC area.
