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.

Will it be difficult to score over a 1000 on the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) general test?

I need to score atleast a 1000 on the GRE general test. The math part is not an issue because I am a mathematics major but I was hoping for some insight on the rest of the exam…..

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!

Quantum on Physics GRE?

I am taking my GRE Physics subject test in the fall, and I am set for nearly all of the different aspects of the test except Quantum.

I will be taking Quantum in the spring, but other than that, all I have are different quantum stuff was touched upon in Nuclear and AMO, as well as some very intro stuff from Intro Physics and Modern Physics (Basic Schrodinger concepts, Wave + Particle natures of photons, Bound systems and Radioactivity)

All of this contained little math and did not delve very deep into QM.

So my question is, if I want to dedicate 25-30 hours of study to Quantum before my GRE test in the fall, what should I study? These are GRE Multiple Choice problems, so anything too mathematical won’t help, but what are the key concept that could be asked on the test? I’ll pick up the more difficult math in the spring when I take the actual course.

i am about to give gre exam in one week time?

but i m not well prepared for it,i do not want to postpone the exam. i m good at math but not in english what should i do??
i want to do ms in networking.

GRE plan of study with one year to work with.?

I have one year to study for this test. Can anyone give me a plan of study which has been successful beyond getting study guides from the local bookstore? I am particularly weak in math, the furthest I have been in undergraduate study is Statistics I.

Is this enough time to study for the GRE exam?

1 month before-every day. I suck at math and don’t really know any of the vocab. So I’d be doing extensive studying for the month. What do you think?

GRE Math subject test (not general test) preparation tips?

All, I am trying to come up with a study plan for the Math GRE subject exam and would like some advice, preferably from those who have already taken it or tutored test takers, on how to prepare for it. I am aiming for as high a score as possible, and I minored in math as an undergrad. I would be especially grateful if anyone could recommend specific textbooks or study guides to work with beyond the Princeton, Kaplan, REA, Rudman, et al., subject test guides.

Study Guide for GRE…?

What is a good study guide, especially for the quantitative part, for the GRE? I haven’t studied math in a long time and need explanations on how to solve the problems again.

How long does it usually take for them to mail GRE scores if you take the test at a computer testing center?

I took the GRE at a computer testing center (Prometrics) and it tells you your math and verbal on the spot — I got a 690 (or 680?) and 600 respectively, but they mail you the your scores as well and the letter includes your essays which a grader has to look at. It will be two weeks tommorow since I took it, so I’m really ready to find out!

Does everyone get an "experimental" section on the GRE test?

I’m taking the GRE exam on May 7th, and I’m trying to understand the format of the test.

There’s the Writing section (which is always first), then a Math and Verbal section. But is there an experimental section for everyone? Or is that randomized so only a few people end up taking it?

Also, the experimental section wouldn’t be another Writing section, would it?
I can’t imagine writing two MORE essays for another two hours :/

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!

What courses should you take in college to do well on the GRE?

I was thinking of minoring in math so that I could ace it, but not sure if that would be a good idea.

What is the best tool in helping prepare for the GRE?

I’m taking the GRE in a month. I have looked at a few study guides from the library, and browsed through an online practice test. I haven’t been in school for almost 10 years now, and I can’t remember any of the math I once knew–I’ll be fine on the verbal portion of the test, but I really need help with the quantitative section. Anyone have any recommendations?

High GRE scorers, I need some advice–best ways to raise my score, etc?

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.

What is the best Booklet and/or CD prep guide for the GRE?

I have to take the GRE near the end of November. I have around 5-6 weeks to prepare (I know, not that much time!) My university had been offering free classes for prep but for some strange reason they all ended last week and they don’t seem to be offering a new session. So that plan has been shot and now I need to prepare on my own, which I hate doing. I think I would learn best from doing a CD program (I did this for the ACT and my score was amazing); one with little exercises and progress or whatever. I especially need to have good practice at this math because I tested out of all the required math hours for my major so I haven’t studied math in 4 years. I am great at math, but it is all forumula memorization/practice and I since it has been so long I really need to review this. Any suggestions, anyone know of just such a computer program? Where can they be bought- Barnes and Noble? Best Buy? etc… thanks for your help!!

what kind of apple/mac laptop should i buy for college?-going to be a biology major?

GRE question, With a score of 720, What are the chances of getting into a Graduate School?

I took my GRE exam today. My weak side was English and my strong side I thought was Math. Apparently, the grade I got was very Shocking. I got 370 in Math and 350 in English. When I took the exam, Math did not seem hard at all and I was expecting a 450+. My GPA is only 2.7. I know I should re take my GRE, but as of know what are the chances of getting into an ok Graduate School?
Well I know my GPA is low, My first two year of college I really did bad and improved there on. First two year of college, I was not focused and did not care much and it is causing me a lot of hassle. I have been getting mostly B’s And few A’s but my GPA not changing much. My Undergraduate degree is in environmental science and I already work for the Federal Government. I want to do my masters in Geography/GIS, and i already got some certification in GIS.

How long will it take to fully prepare for the GRE Exam?

Keep in mind that I don’t know any of the Math and really bad at vocabulary.

Help with percentages on GRE questions?

I’m pretty handy with my shortcuts in math but is there something I’m missing here?

Mary received a net of 5 that was 65% of her gross paycheck.
A- Mary’s gross paycheck
B- 0

The answer is they’re the same, but how are you supposed to figure that out without a calculator?
