designed to cover all topics tested on the GRE. Our focus is on real conceptual learning for the Math

from sitting in our course.

help you master the content completely. This uniqueness in content and customized questions is one
of the major reasons why we believe Brightlink Prep is a one of the leading GRE preparation
academies in Lahore.
Q. I do not want to enroll in a preparation course for GRE in Pakistan. I think I will manage it myself
but can I buy your GRE preparation test material only?A. Unfortunately not. This material is used to
assist our students for GRE exam preparation. It is only helpful if it is supplemented with our
teaching expertise. Otherwise it is not effective for self-study.
Q. Do you offer selected options of preparing for GRE general test? By this I mean can I choose your
preparation class for a particular section only?A. Unfortunately due to the large number of students
coming in we are unable to offer partial courses – you will have to take the full course regardless.

from all parts of Lahore.

A. Yes. We respond to student requests that suit them entirely. If you want to defer to another GRE
session, it is definitely possible.
Q. How can I register for GRE test in Pakistan?A. Once you have completed your GRE preparation
in Pakistan, next comes the process of registering for the test. Find out how to register for GRE in
Pakistan the official ETS website.
Q. Is GRE International different from GRE Pakistan?A. Yes both are completely different. The local
GRE is designed and conducted by the authorities in Pakistan called the NTS. Some public
universities in Pakistan only accept it. On the contrary the international GRE is conducted by ETS
and is for foreign university admissions.
Q. Is the test preparation for the GRE general tests same as that for the local one?A. No. The GRE
general test preparation and course content is completely different from that of the local GRE. Please
note that many students of GRE in Pakistan conceive the two as the same. However they are totally
different.
Q. In case I am do not want to register for the course can I get some advice from you on how to
prepare for GRE test?A. Definitely you can. You can meet us in person or send us an email to
info@brightlinkprep.com.
Q. I need to get an overall perspective on how to prepare for GRE new pattern exam. The reason
being that I gave the old GRE more than 5 years ago and scored well. I did well on the GRE exam
earlier and I think that with just the knowledge of how to prepare for the new pattern GRE I will be
able to do well.A. We deliver GRE seminars and workshops 3-4 times a year. You can attend one of
those to get a feel of what the real test is like.
Q. What is a good score in GRE to get admission into a top university?A. Every foreign university
has a different criterion. In order to confirm GRE score requirements please contact the university
directly. But keep in mind that top U.S. universities require scores in the 90th percentile in order for
you to have any chance of qualifying for an admission.
Q. Do you think that 8 weeks of preparation for GRE is sufficient? I heard that it takes more than 3
months to prepare for the GRE exam in Pakistan.A. In most cases it is. But if you think that your
individual needs are different, then you can spend more time until you are satisfied with your prep
for GRE. We work with our GRE students in Pakistan until they are satisfied with their ease of
dealing with all kinds of GRE questions. However without the guidance of a good GRE tutor in
Pakistan, it easy to spend more than 3 months for GRE preparation without getting much benefit out
of it. Please be careful when selecting resources for GRE studying. There is nearly an infinite amount
of content available online and you may end up studying the wrong or irrelevant content. This will
not only hurt your GRE score but also waste precious time. Therefore please choose rationally.
Q. Is it possible that I can prepare for the exam before the scheduled end of your classes for the
GRE?A. No. We would recommend that even if you are good at the GRE exam, still you should stay
till the end of the course. There are many invaluable GRE math and verbal concepts that you will
learn.

Q. What pre-requisites do I need, in order to enroll for a course of GRE at BrightLink Prep?A. You
must have taken Math courses at the Intermediate level and have most of your recent education in an
English medium environment. If that is not the case then we would advise you against taking the
GRE and look for other alternatives instead.
Q. I think I am good at GRE exam. Can you give me some tips on how to prepare for GRE on my
own?A. GRE cannot be prepared just with the tips. It needs a lot of hard work and dedication both
from the teacher and the student. We would suggest that rather than focusing on GRE tips and
strategies, sit down with the book and focus on some through studying and practicing.
Q. Do you think if I prepare for GRE on my own I will get a good score?A. Yes you can. Preparing
for GRE does not always require coaching or support. Many self-study GRE aspirants have devoted
time and energy to achieve their end. We know many students for GRE in Pakistan who have,
through hard work and dedication achieved top positions.
Q. Are there any other GRE general test prep courses available in Lahore?A. There must be other
GRE preparation institute in Lahore. Unfortunately we cannot advocate any. You will have to ask
around and research about them on your own. However Brightlink Prep is one of the best GRE prep
places in Pakistan and we would recommend that you visit us to get a feel of how it is like studying
here.
Q. I want to know whether you teach at other institutes in Lahore for GRE preparation?A. No we
don’t. We re fully focused towards BrightLink Prep and our vision is to make it the best GRE
preparation institute in Lahore and eventually in Pakistan.

in mind that for an above par GRE score, you must dedicate atleast 100 hours of smart studying.
Q. Are there any GRE prep guides that you provide?A. Yes we do. We provide you with all the
material required to get over 90 percentile on the revised GRE exam.
Q. What courses do I need to study in order to prepare GRE?A. You need to be apt at basic (O-
Levels/Metric) Mathematics and basic understanding of the English language. Although some high
level vocabulary is required but it can be learned from our classes for GRE Preparation in Lahore.
Q. Can I prepare for the GRE with a degree in arts?A. Yes you can. But only if have taken Math
subjects in your O-levels or HSSC/Matriculation. Otherwise it will become a bigger challenge than it
already is.
Q. What is the difference between ETS GRE and NTS GRE?A. NTS GRE or more commonly know
as GAT Test by NTS is conducted and applicable in Pakistan only. However ETS GRE is a
universally accepted standardized admissions test accepted by all international universities.
Q. I was searching on how to prepare for the GRE and found out that I cannot retake the test before 2
months. Is this correct?A. Yes this is true. Since ETS revised the GRE exam in August last year, one
can no longer re-take the GRE test before another 2 months as stated by the ETS.
Q. I think I need help with the GRE quantitative section only.A. Unfortunately we are unable to offer
partial courses due to the large number of students coming in. You will have to take the full course.
Q. Do you offer GRE prep classes in Karachi?A. No. Right now we only offer GRE Preparation
classes in Lahore, Islamabad and Rawalpindi.
Q. When I read about how to prepare for the ETS GRE, I realized it requires a lot of vocabulary. Is
that true?A. Thorough GRE preparation requires learning 1000-1500 frequent GRE words. Otherwise
the chances of getting a high score are really slim. But you must be smart at choosing those words
since you must focus on the most GRE relevant vocabulary.
Q. Does your test prep GRE course concentrate more on the verbal or the quantitative section?A. Our
course is a balance of the two. However some students have special needs and they want more
attention on certain sections. In this case we give them extra work and exercises.
Q. Is the GRE acceptable by business schools as well?A. Since GRE got revised in august of 2011, a
lot of business schools have started accepting the GRE exam in lieu of GMAT. However we would
recommend that you check with your individual university.
Q. After taking your preparation classes for GRE, how long can I wait before I take the GRE test?A.
We recommend our students to take the GRE exam within one week after they end with our classes.
The longer you wait, the higher the chances that you will lose momentum.
Q. For a beginner like me, how long do you think I would need to fully prepare for the GRE? A. In
our teaching experience it should not take more than 8 weeks of dedicated preparation. This means
that you are spending at least 3 to 4 hours each day studying for the GRE test.

Q. Is the GRE exam accepted by Pakistani universities?A. Some do. For instance LUMS, FAST and
NUST. Still you must make sure by contacting the specific university and department. You would not
want to prepare hard for the GRE only to find out that it is not acceptable for your majors.
Q. Do you offer courses only in GRE general test preparation?A. Yes. We only provide GRE
preparation classes for the general test. We do not offer any GRE classes for subject test preparation.
Q. Does everyone need coaching for the GRE?A. Every student is different. Before you enroll in any
one of our GRE courses, we recommend taking a free trial class and mock test with us. Then you can
decide if you need a GRE preparation class.
Q. What makes your GRE test prep course different from the rest in Pakistan?A. We are one of the
few academies in Pakistan where the instructors take the GRE exam regularly and do well. So we
have real experience of preparing for and taking the test. On top of that there is no other GRE
coaching institute in Pakistan that has a faculty with such an experience.
Q. I saw you conducted a GRE preparation course in Karachi but you said that you do not offer GRE
classes too in Karachi?A. Yes that is correct. Every year we visit the top universities of Pakistan to
conduct GRE seminars, lectures and workshops. This way we are able to increase awareness of GRE
in Pakistan. Also we are able to share inside knowledge of how the admissions and scholarships
procedure work in the U.S.
Q. Can I go to U.S. without taking the GRE exam?A. Unfortunately GRE is a compulsory
requirement for all universities in the U.S. Even if a certain university gives you an admission
without the GRE test, there are chances that the embassy will deny you the visa. Therefore in rare
cases where your university does not require the GRE score, it is always recommended to have it in
order to avoid any unwanted events such as visa denial. Also please be advised that in order to get
scholarships from your host university you must have a GRE score. Almost all U.S. scholarships and
financial aid programs require you to have the GRE score.
Q. Do you give individual coaching for the GRE?A. Yes we do offer personalized coaching classes
for GRE preparation. You can contact us to discuss your individual needs and requirements.
Q. Do you offer a crash course in GRE?A. No. We do not offer a crash course for GRE preparation.
The reason being that GRE is a tough test and it requires a lot of dedicated and individualized
preparation. This can only be achieved through devoted and persistent effort. On the contrary a crash
course is only meant to provide a cursory overview of the GRE exam and in our experience students
who endeavor to take this short cut route eventually hurt their scores. Hence we always advise
students against taking a GRE crash course.
Q. I took my GRE and did well. Now I need help with writing my personal statement. I found out
that personal statement is a very crucial component of the application along with the GRE. Can you
give me any assistance in writing one?A. We help students in every way possible and at every step of
their application process for admissions to U.S. universities. If you need further help with writing the
statement of purpose, please contact us. We will then move forward from there.
Q. Do you offer GMAT preparation classes in Lahore?A. Yes we have a separate course for the
preparation of GMAT exam.
