I looked at a practice GRE general exam and I thought the questions were very easy. I am a premed student majoring in biochemistry and minoring in math and in case I don’t get into medical school I will try to get into graduate school (worse case scenario). Why does the GRE seem easier than the MCAT? To me the GRE’s questions look like basic math and English. Are the practice tests like the real exam or is the real exam much more difficult?

If anyone here teaches at Kaplan
GRE, SAT, MCAT, PCAT, DAT, LSAT.
can you please post your salary and what courses you are teaching?

I will potentially be interviewing for such a position
and would like to have some sort of idea
of what type of salary I should be asking for.
I do not want to short change myself.

What courses should I take in my first four years of college? Major? Minor? Double or not? When should I start studying for the GRE and the MCAT. How do I cope with if I don’t pass the first time. Anyone know of study groups or support systems available. I’ve wanted to do this for some time now and since I’m starting college in 2011 I’d like to know where to go from here.

do they?

I happened to have a not-so-stellar ~ 2.8 GPA in high school because I didn’t like the situation and thus didn’t care too much about it. I did get something like 96-99th percentile ACT/SAT scores back then because I knew that I had high intellectual ability/IQ, I just wasn’t using it for my high school work.

Now I’m about to finish my honors summa cum laude business finance BA degree with all my pre-med pre-reqs (since I wanna be an MD and then get my MBA) with at a college that’s tons better than than the one I started off at (thanks to a transfer). i was able to get impressive scores on the GRE for my BA and MCAT for my pre-med/med school aspirations.

anyway, when applying for med school and then later business school, will those graduate colleges care about the fact that i didn’t do too stellar in high school? (i actually failed a couple courses back in high school )

I want to take the GRE exam so that I can go to graduate school, but I am so nervous that I am not sure which way to study. I tried to study for the MCAT and I freaked out. I really would like to know how you studied for this exam. And how you got over the anxiety of the exam, if any. Please help me out.

It’s a bit early for me still yet–I am on my 73rd hour of my BS in Psychology. I am starting my core sciences for medical school, but I am confronted with a problem: my GPA is 3.846 based on junior status, and this is competitive for both medical school and doctoral programs, however I know that if I continue with the pre-med track (Organic Chem, Physics I & II, Bio II remains for me), my GPA will certainly be lower (let’s face it, they’re harder classes).

Now I can continue with my BS in Psychology and write my honors undergraduate thesis and then apply for a PhD program in Clinical Psych., or I can sign up for the MCAT next year and try my luck with medical school, thereby lowering my GPA and competitiveness for the PhD program.

PhD programs in Clinical Psych. generally do not require the heavy science load that MD programs do, and thus the GPA requirement is a bit higher for PhD programs than MD programs, although the GRE is supposedly much easier than the MCAT.

I don’t want to go for medical school and hurt my competitiveness for PhD programs, but I’d really like to get an MD because i’m interested in psychiatry and pharmacology (I want to practice as a psychiatrist).

I’m not particularly interested in other things physicians do, but I know an MD is a requirement for psychiatry.

What do you think the best course of action is?

CNA,CMT,LPN,IV therapy course, next got married inherited trust fund paid for books/tuition to school went back premed biology major, worked hard got divorced… got published… did field biology La selva, HIMB,… graduated Dec 2006.. now what? cant find lab work or research work w/ just my BS nothing but maybe some quality control work that pays nothing… working as LPN makes more… should i go to grad school.. bio, path, immune, cellular bio… undergrad research doing PCR, RFLP,RAPD… havent taken MCAT did less than stellar on GRE lol but didnt refresh my highschool geometry prior to taking it… all education is paid no matter where i go or what i do… but now inbetween school and work.. and not sure what path i should take now… GPA was good perfect until last semester and divorce/house fire… but still above average… honors level undergrad reseach and good references.. Live in midwest now… have daughters willing to relocate if necessary looked into several grad progrm

My dad wants me to make sure I can clear the MCAT with flying colors. I did well on my SAT’s, but mediocre on my LSAT’s and GRE’s…..I just don’t know if I have what it takes to succeed on this exam. I’m doing well in the pre-requisite courses, but just doubt that I can nail this exam. What do you do when you’re nervous about a test?

I’m preparing for my DATs. My friend is taking KAPLAN’s GRE prep course, and he says that it is very helpful. My fear is that I pay 00 (Thats how much it costs) and I end up wasting time. They have this "higher score gaurantee" thing where I can retake the course If I feel unready but the truth is, that’s more time out of my life, from my job, from my studies, so I don’t really see it as much of a plus.

SO has anyone had any experience with Major Test Prep Courses (such as SAT, GRE, MCAT ect) and can offer me advice? Should I just stick with buying a prep book and read it or shell out the cash? Mind you, I want to get a very high score.

I’m currently pre-med student majoring in Psychology but am considering being a Nurse Practitioner instead. I know that you need a BS in nursing to more forward to become an NP but what I’m wondering is if there are accelerated programs if you already have a Bachelor’s Degree. (in my case, a BS in Psychology) and I would have already taken my MCAT so would that be looked at as an alternative to the GRE??

I am worried about my future or what I want to do or should do with my life. I am an adequate student, but I want to know how to be a brilliant student….I would like to be highly successful at my job and make lots of money?? How do i go about doing that??? what do i do to get a degree in HR and a jon in it as welll?? I am a psy major now and i am looking for advice…is there anyone that can guide me?? Please! I also have interest in social work but I like HR better…i was thinking bout volunteering and when i get my psy degree get a job in HR?? n maybe pursue an HR management degree??????!!!!! do you think i would need my GRE or my MCAT???

I don’t know how similar the two tests are, but I was thinking I could just sign up for a Princeton Review or a Kaplan course for the MCAT and that might also prepare me for the GRE. The courses are very expensive.

Also, if you recommend that I take a prep class for both tests, could I take them at the same time?

Do you think it is necessary to take both tests? My situation is difficult because I plan on going into the Peace Corps before I go to graduate or medical school, and I’m not sure which I want to do at this point, but I want to take the tests before I go into the Peace Corps, even if I have to take them again later.

Any help you could give me is greatly appreciated, I can’t find information about this anywhere!
