Before beginning your course, please complete the following two tasks:

1. Download Powerprep II software from ETS's website and complete the untimed practice test (this program only works on PCs, not Apple computers).

• Website:  http://www.ets.org/gre/revised_general/prepare/powerprep2/

• You will not receive a score after completing this test, but your instructor will begin the course assuming that you are familiar with the GRE structure and content. This untimed practice test will allow you to explore the GRE computer tools and question types.

2. Purchase Barron's New GRE Test Preparation Textbook with CD-ROM.
