If you don’t know where you are, it is difficult to know where you need to go. This is accurate in all areas of life, including preparing for a standardized test. If graduate school is in your near future, you will likely be looking at taking yet another standardized test, such as the GRE, or Graduate Record Exam. Whether you need GRE tutoring in New York, GRE tutoring in Chicago, or GRE tutoring in Los Angeles, working one-on-one with an expert may be just the boost your studies need. Another great way to see where you are currently at with preparedness for the GRE is through the Question of the Day.

The GRE Question of the Day allows you to answer a daily question for both the general test subjects of GRE Math and GRE Verbal from one location, and you can choose to answer only a question from one of the subjects each day.

The Question of the Day is an excellent way to determine where you are at with your general knowledge in the subject areas. If you easily answer the question each day, you can focus your studies on other areas of the exam you know will cause you more trouble, such as time management. Even if you don’t answer the question correctly, by simply getting in the daily habit of test review gets you closer to your program of choice. Varsity Tutors also offers resources like a free GRE flashcards to help with your self-paced study, or you may want to consider a GRE tutor.

If you answer the Question of the Day correctly each day, you are still learning. Reading the detailed explanation of the answer helps you to internalize and fully comprehend the information. It also helps you to ensure that you are not only getting to the correct answer, but you are getting there correct way. You are also able to gauge your readiness and to see how your performance is as a whole, with the number of questions you have answered correctly.

If you answer the daily test practice question incorrectly, this provides a valuable learning opportunity as you will now see, before test day, which areas may create a speed bump for you down the road. You can focus more of your attention on these areas and strengthen any of these weaknesses. You are also able to see how long it took you to answer the question, the average time it took others to answer the question, and how others that answered the question performed. These are valuable tools to help you to get the best result possible.

Each GRE Question of the Day is pulled from the commonly asked questions that you may see on the test on exam day. They are presented at random each day. This helps to keep the topics fresh in your mind, even if they are areas that you are strong in.

A great study plan encompasses many different approaches to learning. In addition to the GRE Question of the Day and GRE tutoring, you may also want to consider taking some of our GRE practice tests. You can easily combine the Question of the Day to further your studies with the other free test review tools for the GRE, including Practice Tests, Flashcards, and Learn by Concept. Combined, these tools help to create a complete roadmap to get you ready for test day and a solid path for your successful test review.
