Test Prep Courses
All test prep classes are currently live online via Zoom.
To raise your confidence and test scores, outside preparations is essential. Test Prep courses are designed to help you achieve long-term career goals. Our program offers courses for the following exams:
The Graduate Record Exam (GRE) is the entrance test exam for admission to graduate schools. When you are applying to graduate schools check the requirements for application. While many colleges and universities require GREs as part of the application process, some do not. If the GRE is required, a preparation course is an excellent way to prepare for sitting for this type of standardized test. Boston College is pleased to offer preparation courses on the Chestnut Hill Campus. Our experienced and dedicated instructors will work with you to make your experience worthwhile and successful.
