Welcome to the Magoosh GRE lesson video's, and my name is Chris Lele, and I will be taking you through these introduction 课程以及口头课程，我们的数学指南，布伦特，他当然会做数学视频，所以这是一个很好的地方，但是。 Basically, who takes the GRE? Cuz we wanna make sure that if you're sitting here right now watching this, that you're actually gonna take the GRE.

So first off how do we answer this? Well, if you're going to grad school and or, and or you're a PhD candidate then you need to take the GRE. However, here's the important part, if you are. Looking to go to medical school, law school? Either of those, you want to take the MCAT and the LSAT, respectively.

You do not want to take the GRE. However, if you are going to business school, the GRE is now accepted by many, many programs. My guess is you've already figured this out. But just to be sure that you are. Taking the right test, let's get that out of the way.

Now, what is on the GRE, now that we know who has to take it? Well, the GRE is made up of math, verbal, and writing. And before you clicked on this video, you may have actually looked at all of the lessons, and you may have seen that we have broken them up into math. Verbal, and writing, and just a second ago I said I am the verbal guy and Brent is the math guy, but I should also mention that I am the writing guy, so all of these three components of the GRE of course are covered in our lesson videos, and you may very well know these three components, now next big question, the biggest question.

GRE测试是什么？现在它测试的一件事是你的能力 原因通过使用批判性思维技巧使用逻辑的问题。它还测试您的累积知识。 And by that, I mean, vocabulary, for instance. Anything that you've taken years to learn, you didn't just learn it yesterday, last week, last month, but you've known for a very long time.

This can also apply to math, triangle properties, etcetera, or even to essay writing. Again, I guess you didn't learn to write an essay. A few months ago. But now, here's the bigger thing, much bigger thing. And that is the GRE test your ability to take the GRE.

And so everything I talked on the last slide you were probably nodding your head saying yeah, I know this, this is intro, this is basic stuff. But bam. This may be news to you. GRE不是IQ测试。这不是你拥有这种令人难以置信的智慧的测试。

That no matter what you and, you will get a certain number that will never change. A lot of people think that. But the GRE. Test your ability to simply take the GRE. 这不是智力的固有衡量标准。理解这是非常重要的。

Because you may get frustrated at the beginning. You may think, think wow, here I am, 我总是知道我将吸在词汇d now I'm sucking at vocab. , Well that's just me, you must not think that way. Again. The GRE is a test, and like any test, like any game, it has it's own rules, it's own way of doing something and you can, once you understand those rules, become better at taking the GRE.

所以测试是可学习的，这就是我们要做的事情。或者这就是你在你去的时候用McGooch产品做的内容 through the videos. Now, start by asking well, how to learn GRE. What do I specifically do? Well, thing about the GRE is there are many techniques, there are many strategies, some of which are better than others.

Math guide and I, try to share as many of the effective GRE strategies as we can think of. Now, there are also other publishers out there, you can glean your strategies from them. But you wanna make sure that you're using the best strategies, the best tactics to do well on the GRE.

So that's sort of number one. Learning the best approach. Next, not strategies and tactics, but there's accurate prep material. So there are publishes out there, I don't necessarily need to name them. 但问题不一定很棒，因为这很好，他们不会遵守与GRE相同的规则。

So, it's perhaps you're learning a new game and all of a sudden. The rules suddenly change a little bit. And your brain changes, it learns to adapt to this prep material cuz this prep material doesn't accurately reflect the GRE. 因此，您想确保您有准确的准备材料，以便您为测试日做好准备。

现在，这两件事是完成的，它真的归结为你。当然，你需要练习，就像任何游戏一样， any new thing that you're learning. And of course you're going to need focus because it's going to be very easy to lose that focus over time. You may become a very spotty GRE studier and 尽管所有这些都是一个非常可读的测试，你可以学习最好的方法，如果你根本不练习和焦点。

Time then you're not necessarily gonna realize the scores that you're capable of achieving. So this is an instruction video as I said. And the next series of videos are also introductory videos. Now, you do not have to go through each one sequentially, meaning if you don't watch something, you're definitely not gonna be able to watch the next video, no not at all.

In fact, I encourage you even to go to the text completion videos or the math videos, go to the, videos on integers. But, if you want to, kinda sit back and learn a little bit about the GRE, and this is especially for those who. Are fresh to the GRE, then definitely watch these GRE intro videos. And as I said, I'll be narrating the rest of those.

And look forward to seeing you there.
