Have you taken the GRE?

Hi and welcome to my blog,
I opened this blog to help anyone who is preparing for his GRE exam.
I remember myself when I started - I was so lost and in such a panic.
Luckily I got this great Gre guide that helped me a lot
So study hard and good luck!
I’m graduating college on the 20th of Dec., and I’m taking 15 hours of credits, and working 40 hours per week. I just decided to move to a new city a few days after graduation, and I have to apply to the grad school program by Jan 13 in order to start in August. I’m worried about the GRE because I don’t have time to study properly for it. I found this Kaplan online course for 99 bucks, it gives you 28 days to practice/study. Will that work? I looked at a book in the library for the GRE and I missed 9 of the first 12 practice questions. I’m also terrible at math.
I have no minimum score requirement, I just don’t want to look stupid. My GPA is a 3.58, but I’m struggling through this semester and will probably end up with Bs and Cs because of no time to study.

The general test for the GRE is not bad. The math section really isn’t much harder than the math section I had on my ACT. Just refresh up through some trig and you’ll be ok. Honestly, I did not study for the general test. But, if you have to take a subject test (I did….in math), definitely study for that. I know for me, the math subject test was about the most torturous thing ever. lol.
If you really want to study for it, just using the study book should be sufficient. You’ll be fine. Keep in mind, grad schools do not just look at GRE scores, they also look at your grades, recommendation letters, any research experience, etc.
Best of luck!
I did not take GRE, but a lot of my senior friends have been studying for it. Two of my good friends already took GRE, and each of them is taking subject test now (one is doing Chemistry and other one is doing English).
I recommend you to purchase a GRE book and review math. Math should be relatively easy section; you just need to brush up on that. How about your reading? Is everything good?
Please feel free to stop by to ask this question on my message board. Questions for GRE and other grad school-tests are not always best answered in Y!A.
