Comparing GRE prep apps for Android

I'm testing out some different prep apps and am wondering if anyone has opinions on them. Some have free trials or free components, but I think most or all of them have some portion that you have to pay for.

I'm personally going to have access to a free course through Princeton Review, so I plan to use that as my main prep source. I just want an app to act as a supplemental and on-the-go study aid. I may or may not want to pay more money, but I'm more so interested in people's experience w/ the app and whether or not you felt it helped you (not so interested in weighing the costs).

These are the apps I'm considering (because I liked their interface the best). Including here both the Android app link and the maker's main website, for context.

4 Things You DON’T Have to Do to Pass the GRE

Are you struggling with whether to enroll in a GRE prep course, settle for the score you got last time, or even give up on the GRE altogether? You aren’t alone. Many students hit a wall when they attempt the GRE, and many try some pretty crazy things to get past it. Here are four things you don’t have to do to pass the GRE:

1. Accept a low score. Many students are shocked by the difficulty of the GRE. While any standardized test can be difficult, the GRE is designed to trip you up—and you have only limited time to finish. When faced with the difficulty of the test, many students make a tragic decision: they settle. Instead of coming back for a second round and trying to get a truly respectable score, they take whatever they can get. This is a mistake, as it shuts the doors to the best universities, and can radically alter your career path.

2. Take it over and over. Of course, the opposite solution is to keep taking the test with stubborn determination. This is a good spirit, but it won’t make any difference if you just keep falling apart on the same types of questions. Some students find themselves taking the test five or six times and not substantially improving their scores. This can start to feel like banging your head against a wall, and it isn’t necessary—it just means you need to change your approach.

3. Lose sleep. Other students will essentially use all their free time to “cram,” staying up until 3 or 4 in the morning trying to memorize as much information as possible. This is also a self-defeating solution. For one thing, memorization becomes harder when you’re sleep deprived. For another, the GRE doesn’t reward memorizing facts or answers. It wants to find out how well you comprehend and analyze the concepts before you. Many students spend months of sleepless nights “studying” only to get a lower score the second time around.

4. Cheat. It’s fair to say that this is an idea that crosses every student’s mind at some point while studying for the GRE. Most students, of course, are smart enough not to go down this road—but if they did, they’d find out it doesn’t work. The organization that runs the GRE made sure of this following a spat of cheating scandals in 2010. At the time, students would memorize questions from the test and then share them online afterward. This tactic no longer works—questions are harder to memorize, and aimed at rewarding comprehension, not just “knowing an answer.”

So what is the solution for beating the GRE? It’s getting a good GRE prep course. The best prep courses help you understand the reasoning behind the GRE and hone your ability to play by its rules, without a lot of sleepless nights. They’re not about studying harder. They’re about studying better.

4 Reasons You Really Do Need a GRE Prep Course

The GRE is an infamous test that can make a serious difference in the trajectory of your life. Yet all too many test takers go in unprepared. Not sure if you need a GRE prep course? Here are four reasons you really do:

1. To “pass” the GRE the first time around. We’d all like to think we’re in that small group of people who seem to have no problem acing tests. But the fact is, the GRE is made specifically to weed out unprepared test-takers and demands a post-graduate level of preparation. Technically, there is no such thing as “failing” the GRE—but you can get a low score; if it’s low enough you won’t want to put it on your grad school applications. The average score is about 150 on each of the two sections of the GRE, and test takers who score in the mid 140’s or lower are going to want to take it again. This is not only stressful, it’s also expensive. You can help stay out of that trap by doing well on the test the first time around, which is exactly what a GRE prep course helps you do. 

2. To get the best grade you’re capable of. Okay, let’s say you get an above average score on the GRE—maybe 155 and 155 for a total of 310. How good is that? It’s probably good enough to be considered, but we all know the importance of every extra point you score. Generally, scores over 165 stand out as “good” scores in the eyes of admissions officers, and 170+ on both sections are considered exceptional.  But at any score level, going up just one or two points can dramatically change what percentile group you’re in. A GRE prep course can help you snag those coveted extra points, moving you up the ladder and making you a much more desirable candidate for admission. 

3. To know what you’re up against—and how to handle it. The GRE is designed to be tricky. It’s going to challenge your test-taking strategy as much as it challenges your actual intelligence. A good prep course will help you understand the test format, the types of questions you’ll face, and the time-wasting questions that will bog you down. They help you go in prepared.

4. To build your confidence and reduce test-taking stress. We’ve all heard stories of someone freezing up or breaking down during the high stress of the GRE. Don’t let that person be you. Confidence is a must in the GRE and a prep course builds that confidence question by question.
