- An at-home (online) version of the GRE General Test is now being offered as a temporary solution while many test centers are closed due to the Coronavirus. (And who knows, it may stick around permanently!) While taking the GRE from the comfort of your own home certainly presents a convenient option and many benefits, it also presents some unique challenges that must be overcome if you're to perform your best and get the high GRE score you're shooting for.
In this video, Brett Ethridge, Founder of Dominate Test Prep, lays out three things you can and should be doing to maximize your results when taking the GRE at home. If you're going to be taking advantage of the at-home GRE option, this is a must-watch video. But even if you're going to wait and take your exam at a test center in the future, much of what he says here will help you perform your best on test day wherever you end up taking the GRE. Enjoy!

What are the best breakfast foods outside of eggs? Can you list a few? Also any idea about what to eat the night before?
We cover a lot of that toward the end of this episode of The Dominate Test Prep Podcast, so I'd definitely recommend giving it a listen: podcast.dominatetestprep.com/548431/2832178-17-nutrition-hacks-for-improved-focus-memory-and-mental-clarity-with-dr-barrett-deubert. The morning of, some berries or a banana would be good to go with your eggs. I'd also recommend mixing in some veggies with your eggs -- perhaps a spinach omelette or something along those lines. And some nuts. The night before, nothing too heavy. As a general rule, you don't want to change up your diet the day before a competition (in this case, your exam). Eat what you'd normally eat for dinner so that your digestive system acts normally the morning of your exam.
Hello Brett
I didn't booked my test date yet . I decided to give my test in month of July . I think it may not possible due to lockdown . Will universities continue their applications process in the month of September ..? Or they I'll postpone...?
What country are you in? I'll be surprised if some test centers aren't open by July, but I guess we'll have to wait and see. I haven't heard of any schools extending their application deadlines all the way to September, no (Fall classes will have started by then). Several have pushed their deadlines back to June, though. It's really a school-by-school decision. I would recommend reaching out to the school(s) you're planning on applying to and see where things stand with them. Their admissions offices will be able to help you out.
Hi Brett,
I would like to know what happens in case there is a power cut during the test.
Are we allowed to resume the test from where we left off or do they end the test there itself or do we have to reschedule the test?
Thanks in advance
According to the official Online GRE webpage: "
If you have technical issues immediately before your test, contact ProctorU via the Live Chat feature in your ProctorU account. If you have a technical issue during your test that prohibits you from speaking to the proctor, call ProctorU at 1-855-772-8678 for assistance."

@@DominatetheGRE thank you
@@DominatetheGRE does ProctorU have a helpline no in all countries or is it only in USA?
@@srinivasanj4744 I don't know the answer to that. I imagine you can go to the ProctorU website and find that out. If the power goes out, I would plan to open a ticket for "technical issue" as soon as the power comes back on and get a voucher to take the GRE free of charge again at a later date. I hope that doesn't happen for you. Pray for three straight hours of strong electricity!
