SCORE BOOSTER STUDY PLANThe QUANT Score Booster Study Plan is for those who have plateaued on Quant, have alreadydone some self-prepping or prepped with other courses, and for whom the Verbal score is alreadysufficient, or not relevant for the admissions process. This plan will save you some time compared tothe 1-Month Study Plan because it factors in a working familiarity with GRE Verbal content.The plan requires about 15 hours per week over a one month period to complete, although you canfeel free to give it more time if need be, or skip areas on which you’ve already attained 90% accuracy.Since the goal is not to simply complete the modules, but rather to master the techniques andcontent within them, if there’s any doubt about an area though, we suggest you redo those particularmodule as necessary.RESOURCESEMPOWER Test Prep ModuleThe Official Guide to the GRE 3rd, or 2nd EditionPractice Test (MST/OtherResourcePDF SummarySTAGE 1 (DAYS 1-9): ESSENTIAL QUANTITEMTIMEStart Here ModuleIntroduction to how the course functions, and what it takes to get a 90th percentile score5 MinsTest 1: POWERPREP Online - Practice Test 1It’s critical to establish your baseline score.
