Only expenses required to maintain your current job are (for example, a professional license). You are mixed up about the Lasik surgery. Read IRS Publication 502 concerning medical/dental expenses. Only such qualifed expenses IN EXCESS of 7.5% of your gross income can be deducted if you itemize. GRE expenses are not deductible.

And no, you can't write off 7.5% of the surgery. IF you itemize, you can write off the part of your medical expenses that are MORE THAN 7.5% of your AGI for the year. If you don't itemize, you get no deduction for medical expenses including the LASIK. No, not the study book, and not the test fee.
