Have you taken the GRE?

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.

Chances of getting into PhD programs…GRE scores, gpa, etc…?

I am applying to several Cognitive PhD and Sensation and Perception PhD programs. My gpa is lower than I would like: for December 15th deadlines it will be entered as a 3.32 and for deadlines after December 15th it will be a 3.48. Unfortunately, I was extremely unmotivated my first two years of school and did not do well (2.82). However, my last three semesters I have had gpas of 3.65, 3.91 and 4.0. My gpa within psychology is a 3.75 and my upper level course (3000 and 4000) level is a 3.92.

I do not have my writing score from the GRE yet, but I received a 670 on the verbal and a 740 on the math for a total of 1410.

I was just curious as to whether or not my GRE scores could compensate for my GPA. Most programs that I am applying to have a MEAN Gpa of 3.5 and a MEAN GRE of 1200. So I am below on one, higher on the other.

Also, among psychology PhD’s my scores put me in the 96th percentile for both math and verbal.

Obviously I am just nervous about my Gpa. Thanks!

Is score of 103 in toefl ibt with 19 in speaking bad? should I retake toefl?

I have completed BE Computer from Pune University aggregate 65% GPA 3.34 and want to pursue MS Computer Science at good university in US. I will appear for GRE on 17th Sep and I have already taken Toefl IBT. Toefl score is reading 27, listening 28, speaking 19, writing 29, Total 103.
Will low score in speaking hamper my chance of MS. Should I retake toefl.. And please guide me regarding GRE score requirements.. And will good GRE score compensate for loe speaking score in toefl.

I'm having serious trouble with the GRE….will a low score affect my chance of getting accepted?

Applying to graduate school in a social sciences-related degree and one of the components of the application are GRE scores.

I am an international student so I did not need to take the SAT’s when I went to college and so the whole idea of "standarized testing" is brand new to me. This GRE is killing me. I spent over a thousand dollars on a prep course and I still have a low score on the practice tests.
My overall GPA is 3.6 and I have strong letters of recommendation and a personal statement that both facutly members called "outstanding". I also at the undergraduate level presented at a national conference. Do you think a GRE score that is low will hurt?
My average scores on practice tests are:
AW: no idea
V: 350
Q: 250

my toefl score is 72 and gre score is 950 and my gpa is 3.0 can any one guide universities in usa?

my toefl score is 72 and gre score is 950 and my gpa is 3.0 can anyone guide universities in usa offering masters in computer science

What are your thoughts on the GRE exam?

I am 48 years old. A tired but experienced nurse. I have a BSN degree. I would like to get a master degree and begin a role as a Nurse Practitioner. I do not want to take the GRE exam. My GPA from college years was 3.16. University of Michigan requires a 3.25 if not taking the GRE.

What do you all think? I just have not been in a classroom for a very long time. I am anxious about the GRE and not doing well. (even if I prepare and take a study course) I would just like to apply to a master’s program and get started.

HELP! How to raise GRE Verbal Score?

First of all, I would like the say that according to me (a Chemistry major), the verbal section of the GRE is a horrible way to evaluate what you learned in college or how well you will perform in graduate school. I’ve never seen the word INVECTIVE in my college career, and how would this word help me to do research in chemistry? I’m a bright student with a high GPA (3.87) from a well-respected university in Florida, but I’m really struggling with my verbal skills. Every person has their weaknesses. I just took the GRE and I only scored a 400 on the verbal section, and I believe that this was WITH luck, as I completely guessed on the majority of reading comprehension problems at the end of the section because I was running out of time. Overall, I think my performance on the verbal score should be somewhere in the 300s. I studied for the GRE for a few weeks using the Kaplan book.

On the antonyms and analogies part of the verbal section, they gave me some words that I’ve never seen before in my life. (What the hell is a “DONNYBROOK”?!!!). They expect me to know these words. How am I supposed to know these words? Do they expect me to memorize an entire dictionary? Because I’ll do that if that’s what it will take to get these questions correct. I also struggle with the sentence completions. They said everything I need is given within the sentence. However, I DON’T SEE IT!

The reading part of verbal section is another story. It is very different than reading Chemistry and other books in college. When it comes to some random passage, I’m a TERRIBLE reader, and my reading comprehension is really bad. I’m also not that fast of a reader. I read a random passage and I have no idea what it means. Or I read a passage, I have some idea what it means, but when I chose the answers relating to what I think of the story, it turns out that my chosen answer has nothing to do with the details of the passage. They recommended that I should read high published articles like the Wall Street Journal, but it doesn’t work for me.

Anyways, I’m going to take the GRE again to try to get at least a 500 on the section so that I can get into the Chemistry program I want. This requires me to increase my verbal score by 100 points, maybe more, because remember, I think I got lucky the first time! I hear people getting 500s on the verbal section and they believe that their score is bad. Believe me, I would DREAM for that score.

Do any of you have any suggestions that will definitely help me raise my GRE verbal scores to get the score I want? I’m willing to accept all reasonable solutions. Any study guides, techniques, classes, or other motives will do.

For applying to graduate programs in Literature, should I retake the GRE general exam with these scores?

I took the GRE in May and recently received my scores.

Overall: 1320
Verbal: 720
Quantitative: 600
Analytical: 4.0

Similar to many examinees, I find GRE test results vague and impenetrable. I feel confident with my verbal score, greatly above the mean, and my quantitative score, slightly below the average. However, having majored in English, I was rather shocked upon seeing the 4.0 score in the Analytical writing portion. Surprisingly, at least for me, I had the most difficulty with this part of the exam.

To flesh out my academic background, I graduated from a state school with a GPA of 3.77, completed an independent study within my field, and developed amicable relationships with my professors from whom I would ask for letters of recommendation.

In addition to feedback to my question, I welcome any advice about academic life and graduate school as well.

Thank you.

My GRE score is 980-650quants+330verbal.For MS in ComputerScience in US.Any top university can u suggest me?

I graduated 4 years ago with a strong GPA (about 3.5 overall) BA in History and German with art history classes and I want to attend a competitive program.

PhD without GRE

PhD without GRE

If you are pursuing for a PhD but you do not feel confident with taking the GRE there are some universities in the US which do not require GRE exam. Some Small private (sometimes Catholic) Universities in US don’t require GRE or even an impressive undergrad GPA to enroll in Grad Degree Program. These are usually really good “teaching universities” as opposed to “research universities”. Also, there are a lot of “online universities” offering PhDs without GRE/GMAT score in the US. However, if you are not planning on having a degree on-line, then I would recommend you to take the GRE test. When you think about it PhD is all about research, if you are not willing to take GRE or TOEFL, then why do you want to think about PhD? PHD requires intensive effort, you should be precise and  goal oriented  to complete PhD in US Universities. In comparison to completing PhD GRE is a children game. If you plan to take the easy route, then you will surely face the consequences few years down the road.

Also, even though you might choose eventually a program that does not require GRE, TOEFL or iBT/IELTS exams are compulsory for all students wishing to pursue an education in the U.S so if you already study for TOFFEL exam you just might as well learn for the GRE. Another point is if you are thinking to study Doctorate degree, then it should be good university, which has research in your field of interest and professors who will be supportive to take you as student. So, don’t waste your time searching for Universities for PhD without Gre, instead spend time to prepare for GRE.

And the last thing which is no less important is that it is very tough to get a visa without GRE scores.

I am planing to join a graduate course in developmental biology.?

I wanted to know which universities i could apply to. I have a GRE score of 1120 and a GPA of 3.5..

Advice needed on GRE scores and graduate school?

I recently took the GRE. I got a 600 on the verbal, 560 on the quantitative and a 5.5 on the writing portion. Unlike most other people posting on here, my verbal skills are better than my math. Here’s my question: I want to apply for the Master’s in Counseling Psychology program at a local public university in MD. Do you think my scores are good enough? They only take about 1 in 5 people who apply. Of course, other factors are considered: personal statement, letters of recommendation, etc. My undergrad overall GPA was 3.42. Just thought I would throw this question out there before I waste to apply. Thanks for any help!
Thanks for all of the advice! My school of choice states only "acceptable performance" is required for the GRE. I applied as non-degree seeking last year, but they wouldn’t let me sign up for relevant classes (limited them to degree seeking only). Guess that defeated the purpose of trying to take classes and then getting them to transfer! In any case, I will apply and cross my fingers. Thanks again!

The GRE is an illogical exam.?

I am signed up to take a GRE prep course in March. I am in favor of the standardized test like the SAT and such but I really don’t agree with the weight that the GRE holds when applying for graduate school. Think about it. Most go to college and major in ONE thing. For me, I was a Public Relations major. I was required to take only 3 hours worth of math. Yet, I have to do an entire section of math on the GRE and it isn’t all basic math either. Plus, the vocabulary section is crap. It asks you for definitions of words that are not commonly used. Seriously, the meanings of some of those words are outdated and NOBODY uses them in the form that is being asked. If we have to take the exam, fine, but schools shouldn’t put the bulk of their decision on the score. They need to look at all factors like GPA, etc.It all needs to be balanced equally. I was good enough to get into college and graduate but the GRE is trying make us prove we are good enough to keep going? What do you guys think?

how did you study for gre psychology test? How much did you get?

pls help me out. some say they get high scores just by memorizing intro psy books. is it true? i did not get very high gpa. i did not study very well in uni. you think 3 months of preparation for gre is enough?

Who did NOT study for the GRE, and how did you do?

I want to take the GRE in a month. I have a really good undergrad GPA but SUCK at test taking. The program I am applying to requires the GRE, but there is not an entrance score requirement. I’m thinking about just going and taking it on the computer and not messing with studying. (I have been out of school for 5 yrs. and have job experience.) To get accepted, they just want you to have a good undergrad GPA, 3 letters of reference, work experience, and TAKEN the GRE…what would you do?
