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.
I want to go to grad school for music education, and need to do this all quick to be in time for the fall. I want to sign up for the GRE, take it 5 days from now, and pass it without ever studying… but can’t afford the time to fail and try again.
Last I checked, I was smart. I was a National Honors Society student in high school, and aced every math course since 1st grade. I graduated HS nine years ago, and have since earned a music degree and teach and perform music. I have not exercised any advanced math or linguistic skills. My music school does not care about my GRE score. It just has to be passing according to the university as a whole.
Do you think I can pass the GRE? What can I do that’s simple and quick to pass it if you don’t think I’m ready?
Please only respond if you have taken this test before.
Yes, according to ets I can register and take the test as early as 5 days from now.
I am planning on taking the GRE (general subject) exam for grad school. For anyone that has taken the test, or is planning to do so soon, what advice do you have for the most effective preparation? Any tips, links, books, etc., are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I’ve taken the classes already, but I wanna go to grad school. What’s the best study guide for the GRE? What are the best study guides for refreshing myself in math?
How is this test compared to the college entry level exam? Not the SAT or ACT. I am considering going to grad school, however, I was told I need to take the GRE exam and I know nothing about it. Where can i find all the information about it and even study guides?
Who has taken the GRE? I’m looking at the preparation guides online and it looks intimidating. I’m doing well at Uni right now but it looks like Grad school is a different animal. Thoughts?
I’m getting ready to take the GRE this next spring, but I am worried about it. I really don’t take tests well and it is all that is standing between me and graduate school. Someone please be honest, how hard is it? I am focusing on Psychology, what are the areas that I need to score high in? Talking to school admissions people is like talking to a brick wall, maybe ya’ll know more then they do 
I can’t say that I am really worried about it, I am curious. No one I know has ever taken it and I am the first person in my family to go to grad school. I really just wanted to know what it was like. Thanks for the advice.
Give the student a couple research topics to choose from, a computer with word process(full function), a dictionary, an APA(or whatever the format) guide, full access to an academic search engine, and 5 hours. Let the student write a 5 page research paper (with source and everything).
would anyone think this could be more effective than GRE in predicting the test-taker’s chance of success in graduate school?
also explain.
hehe, I know… GRE does a terrible job predicting success in grad school…
I mean, all it is testing is vocabularies which you will never use in real life…
the method I was talking about is not as easy as it sounds.
the test taker needs to be pretty damn good at researching to score high on it.
and besides, GRE is not effective at all. I believe for some programs, such as geology and psychology, studies show the correlation between the GRE score and level of success in grad school to be negative (non-significant though).
K, I was comparing it to the GRE…
besides, I just came up with the idea like 10 minutes before I posted the question.
besides, for most programs, to be able to do research is THE most important skill for students. And this method focuses on the test-taker’s research abilities.
a five page research should not be that hard to complete in 5 hours.
Oh, K, another thing I need to make clear is, I was asking "whether it would be more effective THAN GRE in PREDICTING the test-taker’s chance of success in grad school."
I was not saying to replace GRE with it…
for god’s sake, I was not trying to come up with a standardized test for graduate admission.
I would like to go back to school in the fall for my Master’s. I already have a degree in History, and I want that to be my course of study again.
what GRE test would be best for me to take in order to apply for grad school?
What would be a good score to have to go to grad school?
What would be an average score?
In addition to this, does anyone have any suggestions on study methods? The verbal portion is not one of my favorites and I have not been in school for some time as far at the rest is concerned.
ETS never sent them to my university and I can not find the information. Can any one help with this problem . I do not want to pay for it again. I would like to go to Grad school.
i never took the SAT and i need the GRE for grad school. Can anyone recommend a good program also (classroom setting)?
I want to go to grad school and I am wondering what GRE test prep books you all have used. Im guessing that the Kaplan books are the best, but has anyone tried any others.
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.
The GRE (The Graduate Record Examinations) test is a based computer test that consists of different question types, verbal, quantitative, and analytical writing, and different degree of difficulty. In the math section, for instance, many problems are designed to see if you can apply some little short cut to get to the answer.
Today more and more students want to attend graduate schools not in their native country but all over the globe. In order to get accepted taking the GRE test is mandatory. Obviously the higher your score is the better chances you have to get accepted to the institution you want. It is important to know that there are many MBA programs now that accept GRE scores instead of GMAT.
It is hard to determine how long to study for GRE since it is of course very individual. Some take the course and for a short period of time focus only on the test while others don’t have a lot of hours a day to devote for studying so they have to learn for a longer period and of course some may find this test easy some may find it hard. However, I would say that roughly two month are enough to go thoroughly over the different subjects. If you have less time than that then focus on the essentials, buy cards that consist of the relevant vocabulary, solve the most difficult logic problems and see if you can handle that. (You can buy books that will have representative problem,e.g. the monthly logic puzzle books in order to figure out th logic problems which some find hard to grasp and so on.) But ideally it would be around to or three month to get ready for the GRE.
I am an International Affairs/Poli Sci double major (Hist minor, because why the hell not?) and I’ll actually be finished with all my courses and credits a semester early (Spring 2011 as opposed to Fall 2012).
My question is what timeline should I follow to take the GRE? I plan on going off to grad school to continue studying International Affairs.
Thanks! If I left out important details, let me know.
Hi everyone out there in cyber world,
I live in the UK and am at a UK university for my undergrad degree. Next year I’d like to go to grad school in the US so I gather I need to sit some extra tests to apply for that- the GRE general and the GRE physics tests. Since this concept of extra tests for postgrad study is completely alien to me over here I think I will need to get a couple of study guides for these two tests. I was hoping to sit the tests in mid November since then that should give me a month to get results back and complete applications for the earliest deadlines.
Could anyone advise me on the best study guides to get? There seem to be a few on the internet available. I need something that explains the whole sort of principles of these tests as well as tells me everything I need to know (or at least outlines it in enough detail so that I could then use other books). There isn’t anyone over here who knows anything about these so I can’t just pop along to ask what I need to learn next. If these requirements aren’t all met by one individual book then are the perhaps pairs you’d recommend?
Also, any study/exam tips? How much onus do the universities place on these tests? It would seem strange to me that they would consider them more important than the grades you have been getting during your courses for the last 3/4 years?!
Thanks for your help
I know the answer depends on each indivdual person and their background, but I’m just curious as to how much time you all studied for it. I bought the Barron’s Guide to the GRE and the 10th edition guide from ETS. I am taking it on Sept. 28th in order to start grad school in January.
I took the GRE last year and prepped on my own. I didn’t do well at all on the math, but my verbal was above average for my field. Of course I’d still like it to be higher! I didn’t get into grad school so I’m giving it another try. What is the best way to improve your score, in your opinion? A GRE prep course? Just using a GRE study guide? One on one tutoring? Also, how much time did you spend studying for it? Thanks.
I have been studying for the GMAT and plan on enrolling in a GMAT prep course. But due to a quarter life crisis, now I’m debating between business school and grad school for a different major. I am considering taking the GRE and the GMAT but don’t really want to pay for 2 prep courses, so I was wondering if the GMAT course alone would help me on both tests. Thanks!!
Some grad school say subject test is recommended but not required. Deadline is this December and I don’t know if I have time to study, suggestion anyone? Should I take it?
I want to know exactly how, where, when and any info you can give me about GRE tests I want to go to grad school, and first need to take the GRE.
I will be a senior starting fall, I just decided I want to go to grad school. Will I have to take the GRE this summer to start fall 2010 or can I take it at a later date?
thanks.
I see they have eight subject tests, but the subject I want to do a Ph.D in (history) is not there. So, does that mean I don’t have to take the GRE subject test to get into grad school. I only have to take the general GRE? Please explain…
I’m about to take the GRE’s for GRAD school and I had a couple questions for those of you who have already taken them somewhat recently. What is the Range of possible scores you can get? About how much does it cost to take test (I live in MA)? What is most important to study for Math section? Verbal section?
