how can i perpare for the GRE exam ?? what’s the best book ?? and what sections does it have ?? only math and english or does it also have physics and chem ?? please help !! thanks in advance !!

Currently I am in a bad situation. I lost my job at Circuit City Inc in 2009 when they went out of business. I enjoyed my job it was not hard to sit behind a desk and approve/deny financing. But I also loved the people that I worked with that is what made the job fun and interesting. So when Circuit city went out of business I decided to fall back on my degree (Bachelors of Science in Psychology). I worked at residential treatment facility with at risk youth and I also worked a group homes. Those jobs were ok. I didn’t really enjoy it. The pay wasn’t that great and I had to deal with bad kids that wanted to try to fight me, curse at me, and harm themselves and others.

So now I am unemployed and I think this a good time to change fields/career path. So I thought about Physical Therapy. From what I understand it is a great field to get into. The only thing is I am nervous that once I apply that the schools are not going to take me in the program because my undergrad GPA is low. I do have to take prerequisite courses (physics, chemistry, anatomy) and take the GRE before entering the program but will it be enough for me to get As in those courses and try to score high on the GRE? Or should I just do something completely different. I don’t know please help me figure this out.

I am a B Sc physics 2nd year student.My dream is to study MS in US.But i am totally confused.Please help me.Can i do MS after B Sc?And which course is best in MS?
And i want a scholarship,so how can i obtain it?What are the necessary steps needed to obtain a scholarship(other than TOEFL and GRE)?When should i apply?(i secured 88% in my first year)…Please help me…

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?

I am 26 and already have a BS in psychology. I graduated 5 years ago and after spending time in corporate America behind a desk came to the realization I want to go back. My goal is to return and get my DPT (Doctor of Physical Therapy). Before I even apply to grad school I have to take another chem, physics, 2 physiology courses and the GRE.
Here are my concerns…
I feel so removed from school I feel that taking these courses will be extremely difficult.
Financially, I am not quite sure how I will make things work. I have been making around 80K per year and even though I live on much less, I am not quite sure how I will support my lifestyle. This is much different than when I was 19 with 3 other roommates, no car payment and no real bills to speak of.
Has anyone been through a similar situation? If so, how was the experience for you?

Thanks!

Hi all
I am trying to do my PhD in USA but it seems difficult without having GRE done. I am already holding a job and I need it to get promoted. I don’t need any financial assistance for it. I can not do the GRE as its not related to my field and I am very bad with math and physics. I need easy and short PhD course no matter what the ranking is, it have to be on US and not online degree.
So please help

On the physics gre ets guide, they list a series of mathematics areas i have to be very familiar with:

boundary value problems
differential equations
vector algebra
complex analysis

i really don’t want to spend my time re-reading entire math text books when i’m studying for the physics gre. So can someone tell me what aspects of these subjects i need to know?

if you have any other advice, feel free to relay it as well..i could use all the help i can get!

thanks

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 am engg student in ee wanting to go in nanoscience and planning gre in physics , my physics is good and i just wanted to know about how to study physics for gre and how to do that in india and which indian books are good and avaliable for that and which level of questions are asked and can a engg student crack the exam if he studies seriously.
