I’m a biology major and I am planning on taking the GREs in October (or possibly November). Can I take the general GRE and the subject GRE at the same time? Can I take more than one subject test at a time? I was thinking about taking the Chemistry one too. I looked over the list of topics covered and I seem to know more from the chemistry list thanks to Orgo.

I’m having a rush to give results of this exam, so i was thinking to study for two weeks on it, and then go for it. Is it possible? or should i spend more time studying after i apply to the GRE Exam?

Have you taken the psychology subtest of the GRE? Can you reccomend a good study guide?

I need to take a GRE subject test in psychology. On the website, it says registration is closed. How and when can I register for this test?

Thank you.

I want to begin preparing for the GRE, and I want a book to help. What is the best book you have come across and also, I know they have made some revisions to the test in the last few years, and in the way it is tested. What is too old of a book, as in time/year?

I don’t want to spend the money on a 2008 GRE study guide. I can find a really cheap 2007 one. Do the tests change THAT much? I’m guessing that the main concepts of the test are the same….would I perhaps worsen my score by using the older version?? any advice on this? thanks!

Should I wait and start fresh for the test prep course… will a book just teach me a different system?

Thanks!

Info about me: I have my BA in English with a creative writing concentration and am applying to grad schools hoping to get into a creative writing program. I got a 29 on the ACT and had a cumulative GPA of 3.6 in college.

What’s the best way to study for the GRE? I’m not good at math and I’m not sure what else is on it. Is there a particular book or program that you think is better than another? What helped you prepare?

Thanks so much!

How many yrs is the GRE general test valid ,if I take the exam on June’07?? I have plans to apply for higher studies in May 2009? When is the right time to take the exam?

Help, I have been out of school for 5 plus years. I’m not good at take tests like the GRE and need someone to tell me where do I get study material, how do you study for it and whatever I need to know about it.

The test guides give contradictory answers. Some say you can use one and others say you cannot. But most of the guides I have found are out of date anyway, The GRE website does not address the issue directly, so I am very confused. Also, when exactly are the breaks scheduled? Is it "free time" or does taking the 10 minute break mean I have 10 minutes deducted from the time allotted for the test?

I’m not an American citizen, so how can I enter a good university to continue my graduate study "Phd" without GRE exam, and to be teacher assistant ?

I’d like to go back to school for my masters, and I’ve got a GRE study guide, but I don’t know how far ahead to start.

I am planning on taking the GRE in a few months and would like to brush up on my math. I have found good online resources for vocab but have not had the best luck finding good websites to study math. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I was never told this, but I am looking at Stanford University, and it requires a high score on this GRE test that I have never heard of?

I’m not a moron, for I can solve most of the more difficult math questions in my GRE prep book. In addition, I’m able to figure out all of the individual angle measurements of the two triangles (which are bisected by a line) in the aforesaid question. I just don’t understand what the question is asking for.

I have done my GRE general test 2 times with Kaplan books but could not get good marks in test . I need someone to guide me about the GRE books for higher score.

I’ve recently decided to further my education and need to take the GRE. I have until February to take the exam–which I imagine is plenty of time to study. What methods worked best for you?

Also can I pursue master or Ph.D in nutrition to become nutritional specialist or biochemistry because I love this science by healthy nutrition we can prevent many diseases. Thanks for all good people. I see there is biochemistry GRE subject test this is for who.

I had originally planned to take the General GRE in Jan ‘08, but had to reschedule for Jan ‘09. Do you think the questions/format will be so different that I will need new study guides? Also, how difficult is the exam REALLY? Thanks for any help!

If the whole law school thing doesn’t work out (which I’ll be bummed if it doesn’t,) then there are a couple of fields I always thought I’d like to study: Political Science or Geography.

I have a 3.25 GPA at the University of Louisville, which I think is a pretty good institution. What GRE score would I have to have to be competitive for schools like U. of Washington-Seattle, U. of Georgia, U. of Florida, U. of Texas, Rice, etc. (I don’t want to attend an "elitist" school, but still an institution with a great reputation.)

Thank you!

I do not want to know which test is easier or less time consuming or how it relates to another test. I also do not want to know about other related tests (such as the LSAT)–or your personal experiences with a test. I only want to know which test (GRE or GMAT) is generally taken to get into a Masters of Philosophy program.

I have a shot at starting grad school fall semester ‘07 if I can score at least a 1000 on the GRE before the end of July. I’ve been out of school now 5 years. Anybody think this is a reasonable amount of time to prepare for the GRE if I put in 3-4 hours a day of study for the next 7 weeks or so?

I know it’s probably a very subjective question, but i recently took the GRE exam and received a 560 for verbal and 750 for quant. I feel comfortable with my quantitative score, however, my verbal score is a lot lower. The overall score is 1310, would anyone recommend that I retake the GRE?
Thanks in advance.
Also, can anyone tell me from experience how long they had to wait for the GRE scores to be mailed to them? The computer-based version please. Thanks.

There was a sudden death in the family and it is too late to reschedule or cancel my test date (it’s saturday). They only let you take the GRE once per month even if you have your scores canceled. But what if I just don’t show up at all? Will i be able to take it next week? I know I would have lost my registration fee and would have to pay to register all over again. But I’m wondering if it would count as my once a month thing. Thanks
