- What is the tuition for the TestMasters GRE
Course?
The course tuition is $950. This covers all of
the course materials, including the fifteen coursebooks and the computer-adaptive
diagnostic tests. Students are welcome to write in the coursebooks
and may keep all of the materials to study once the course is over.
The tuition for the weekend course is $350.
- How do I register for the TestMasters GRE
Course?
To reserve a spot in one of our GRE courses, you
must either pay the tuition in full or make a down payment of at least
$100. If you choose to make a down payment, you must pay the remainder
of the tuition at least one week prior to the first class meeting.
TestMasters accepts the following forms of payment: checks, money
orders, Visa, MasterCard, and Discover. Please note that TestMasters
only accepts personal checks that are received at least ten business
days prior to the first class meeting. If you complete your enrollment less than one
week before the first class meeting, you will be charged a
$50 late registration fee.
- What is the TestMasters refund policy?
If you wish to cancel your enrollment for one of
our GRE courses, you must submit a written cancellation request to
TestMasters. Your tuition payment is refundable if and only if you
notify TestMasters in writing of your intent to withdraw at least
ten business days prior to the start date of your specified course.
Tuition refunds are processed and either credited or mailed within
ten business days.
- What materials do I receive when I enroll
in the course?
The materials for the TestMasters GRE Course include
fifteen coursebooks, each of which contains a lesson section that the
instructor covers in class and a homework section that is based upon
the concepts taught in the lesson. The coursebooks incorporate all
of the real GRE questions that the Educational Testing Service has released, including all of those in Practicing to Take the GRE General Test, 10th Edition. Students also receive several computer-adaptive GRE diagnostic tests on disc.
- How do I receive my course materials?
If you pay the tuition in full and if TestMasters
receives your signed student enrollment agreement at least one week
prior to the first class meeting, your course materials will be shipped
free of charge approximately one week before the start of the course.
Otherwise, you will be charged a $50 late registration fee. Please note that a signature is required
for delivery of the shipment.
In lieu of shipment, TM reserves the right to distribute materials at each lesson.
- Will I have the opportunity to ask my TestMasters
instructor questions?
Of course. TestMasters instructors arrive thirty
minutes before the start of each of the fifteen lessons to answer questions
from the previous lesson's homework. Students are also given opportunities
to ask questions during the three-hour lesson.
- How do I access the TestMasters Online Resource
Center?
When you enroll in the course, we will send you
a confirmation letter that includes your unique user ID number. Once
you have received this number, you can visit the members page on our
website and register as an online user. Registering will enable you
to create your own password. Once you have registered, you can access
the Online Resource Center by entering your ID number and password
in the member login area, which is located in the upper right-hand
corner of the home page.
- Should I prepare on my own before taking the
TestMasters course?
No. TestMasters GRE students should not study
any GRE material until the course begins. We teach proven strategies
and techniques that help students significantly improve their test
performance in terms of both accuracy and speed. Students who work
through GRE questions without first having learned these strategies
and techniques are not likely to achieve optimal results.
- Should I preview the coursebook before attending
each lesson?
Definitely not. Previewing the coursebook or attempting
to do GRE problems in the coursebook before attending the corresponding
lesson is counterproductive for a number of reasons. In each lesson
your instructor will introduce and discuss at length important concepts,
strategies, and techniques that you must learn to apply to the GRE
problems in the coursebook. Students who attempt to do GRE problems
without the benefit of this information often develop bad habits and
must spend precious time and energy breaking these habits before they
are able to apply the proper techniques. In addition, our method of
teaching involves challenging students with new material in class.
This critical element of the course is lost if you have already worked
through the material on your own.
- What should I bring with me to class?
Always make sure that you have something to write
with. In addition, you must bring the appropriate coursebook to each
of the twenty lessons. It is important not to forget your coursebook
because TestMasters instructors usually bring only one or two extra
coursebooks for students to borrow. If you are attending the 30-minute
question-and-answer session before class, you should also bring the
coursebook from the previous lesson.
- Can I transfer to another location in the
middle of the course?
Yes. If you would like to attend a single class
at an alternate location, you may log into the members area of our
website and print out a pass, which you must present to the class
instructor at the alternate location. If you would like to switch
locations permanently, you may do so at no additional charge, as long
as the class at the original location and the class at the new location
are running on concurrent schedules and there is space available at
the new location. If you decide that you would like to transfer from
one class to another, please contact us immediately so that we can
reserve a space for you at the new location.
- What is the TestMasters repeat policy?
Students enrolled in the TestMasters GRE Course
may repeat the entire course at any time within three years of the
original date of registration for the reduced fee of $475. Students
enrolled in the TestMasters Weekend GRE Course may repeat the weekend
course at any time within three years of the original date of registration
for the reduced fee of $185. Weekend course students cannot enroll
in the full-length course for the reduced repeater fee. Similarly,
full-length course students cannot enroll in the weekend course for
the reduced repeater fee.
