Okay, I am a senior right now and I am planning on going on to graduate school next fall. I would like to achieve a very good score on the general GRE (I don’t have a specific subject test to take because I am a history major). I just want to know how hard you found it in your personal experience.

p.s. please don’t relate it to the SATs because I have never taken that test, or the ACT.

I haven’t been in school for nearly 20 years and need to tune up for the general GRE (non-specific topic). What level of math does the GRE cover? I’m not asking about the Math Subject test, just the general GRE? In my reviews so far, I can see it getting into intermediate algebra and geometry…
I think I can handle the Psychology topic specific exam but need help on the general GRE…

I have done bachelor in architecture. After that I took break and now I want to do Ms in Information Technology as I have more interest in it than architecture. So please help me how to proceed. I have to give GRE general test or subject test. Which are good universities in NJ area. I havent done any courses in computer…Do I need to do something before applying for universities??
Thanks

Since my major was not psych I have to take the subject test, some say Kaplan is good others say its not and that the actual test was 100 times harder. So what other products can I use to help me out.

I plan to retake the GRE this summer/early fall since it’s been more than 5 years since the last time I did so. I would like to take a college-level course to prepare me for success. Which math class would be the most beneficial and provide me withe most pertinent informatio and skills?

If it helps you to answer the question, I have a Master’s in English and teach English at the community college, so I have the other portons of the test down. My concern is that math has always been a weak point for me and I’d really like to do better this time around than I did five years ago.
I meant to say the Quantitative section on the GRE, not the math subject test.

Also, I teach at the local community college, so price is not a concern. It would actually be significantly less expensive to take a class there than a Kaplan-style prep class.

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.

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.

From what I’ve read its about 2.5 hrs and 180 questions. How can I prepare for it? I am in Biochem 1 and also taking cellmolec biology. After next semester I will have finished Biochem 2 and research. I plan on taking the Biochem subject test sometime in June. Besides what I learn in class, are there any other resources out there to improve my score for the GRE Biochem subject test?
Has anyone taken any of the subject tests? How were they?

I’m going to apply to a biology graduate program, but I don’t have an awesome undergraduate GPA, so I need to do exceptionally well on the biology subject test. I’m not about to part with 00+ for a course, so a book will have to do. Which are the top three biology specific prep books? I’ve been getting a lot of mixed reviews and would appreciate personal advice. Thanks!

From anyone who has taken it this year or at the most a year ago…What were the best study guide books for them (e.g. Princeton, Barron’s, ETS…etc.) Same for the Psy. subject test. Thanks!

I’ve bacholers degree in mechanical engineering.
But I’ve work experience of 4 years in Software field.
I want to do MS.
Is general test enough for me or I need to take subject test for Computer science?
Please answer this. I need to make quick decision now or I would’ve to wait till next year.

I got a really bad grade in my biology class. Is it a good idea to take the GRE biology subject test to kind of make up for it, assuming that I will do well on the test? I am planning to apply to graduate school in Engineering, not biology.

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 am about two weeks away from taking the Biology Subject Test GRE and four weeks away from taking the General GRE. Does anyone who has taken these tests before have any study suggestions? I already have the study materials from Kaplan and have the Princeton Review Cracking the GRE guides on the way. Would it be a wise idea to go back through my notes and texts from my undergrad courses and re-read these? Any and all tips would be GREATLY appreciated!

I need to take my GRE biology subject test and am not doing so hot studying on my own. Who provides good prep course?

I am in search of phD programs in Mathematics across the country, and I am targetting at some of the better institutions. I am gonna take the GRE general test next month, but I am still struggling on whether I should take the Subject test as well. Does anybody know any GOOD phd math program admission without the requirement of the subject test? And what is the odd to get into a good program without going through this test? Thank you!

I’m a biology major and I am planning on taking the GREs in October (or possibly November). Can I take the general GRE and the subject GRE at the same time? Can I take more than one subject test at a time? I was thinking about taking the Chemistry one too. I looked over the list of topics covered and I seem to know more from the chemistry list thanks to Orgo.
