(October 22, 2009 Stillwater, Okla) – Students planning to take the GRE are encouraged to register for the OSU GRE preparation Course, which is a comprehensive review of all portions of the test: quantitative skills, verbal reasoning ability and analytical writing assessment.

The course will be held on Tuesdays from Nov. 3, 2009, through Dec. 1, 2009, from 6 to 10 p.m. in Classroom Building Room 122 at the OSU–Stillwater campus.

“Proper preparation is one factor that can improve your performance on the GRE," said Robert Dooley, Associate Dean for Graduate Programs and Research in the Spears School of Business.

The course will be taught by Sujata Singhal, who has been professionally teaching and privately tutoring GMAT, GRE, MCAT, SAT, and ACT test preparation for 15 years. She began tutoring for a major test preparation company as she pursued a double major in molecular and cell biology and religious studies at the University of California at Berkeley. She received a B.A. degree from the University of California at Berkeley and a M.A. degree from Loma Linda University.

The fee for the course is $450 and includes the book Practicing to Take the GRE.
