Hi – I plan on taking the GRE this October and instead of the super pricey Princeton Review course I’ve been looking at test prep given help by tutors online such as TutorVista. Has anyone used them? Are they credible, did it help? What are the other best test prep methods you’ve used?
Thanks much!

Hi. I’m in junior year in a university.
My major is not physics, but I need to take a GRE Physics Test for the graduate school.

Although my university advisor recommended me to take about 3 advanced physics courses (Mechanics and Relativity 1, Quantum Physics 1, and Electromagnetic Field 1) before taking the GRE Physics test, I only took four physics core courses.

I need to take the test by the end of this year if I want to attend the graduate school right after the graduation. (The deadline for the graduate school is Jan 15 every year.)

Would it be really difficult to take the GRE Physics test without completing above advanced physics courses (Study like a SAT or an ACT test)?

Thanks.

Hi all, what’s the best GRE review book out there ? planning on taking the GRE this march. Plus, has anyone here ever attended the Powerscore GRE review course and if so, how was it ? Thanks..

I’m a real estate appraiser (considered self-employed) and I’m taking the GRE in February to try to get into a Master’s program so I can get a better job. When I file my quarterly estimated taxes for April, can I write off a GRE study guide book? Can I write off the 0 fee to take the GRE test, too?

I need as many write-offs as I can get since I’m shelling out most of the money I’ve made so far for LASIK surgery in March. I know I can write off 7.5% of the surgery, but the surgery is going to cost me just about everything I’ve made for the last three months, minus my regular expenses (gas, food, health insurance, car repairs, etc). Plus I have to take a few days off of work to heal before I can go out driving around again.
Well that’s great then! I thought I was going to have to eat most of the LASIK cost and still get taxed on the remainder. Didn’t seem fair to me, but neither do any taxes for that matter.
So I can write off all 00 for the entire surgery since it’s more than 7.5% of my gross pay? Gosh, then there won’t be anything left to tax me on Oh, if only I could do that every quarter…

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?

I plan on taking the GRE during the summer of ‘09. Should I take a GRE preparation course or would a preparation book from a book store suffice?

I am 14 years old and I am interested in taking the GRE math subject test. I am not entering graduate school, though I have taught myself undergraduate, graduate (and beyond) level math and would like to see how well I do on the test. Is there a minimum age you have to be to take it? Or any other restrictions that would keep me from taking the test?

I’m taking the GRE in October & every student I have talked to has told me that it made them want to die and/or consume mass quantities of alcohol. However, every professor I’ve talked to has said that it’s not that bad. So which is it? And what’s a good score?

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!!

I’ve looked online & found NOTHING! & How much does it cost to take the GRE?

& what’s your experience with taking the GRE? I know it’s not that easy, but is it overwhelmingly hard? Did you pass off 1st try or had to repeat? Did you study or prep for it? Did you have a tutor or not? Did you study on your own or go to a class?

What should I do? I can’t afford to pay for a class or tutoring. I’m poor. But I heard that the 1st time you take the GRE, you can get a waiver or a voucher. If I’m disabled with limited income, can I get a voucher?

**Sorry for so many questions, but I’m trying to get a general idea of people’s experiences so I can know what to expect.

There’s a free GRE preparation workshop in conjunction with a research internship I’m applying to, and I was trying to decide whether to dedicate the extra time to attend the free workshops. I’m really not interested in taking the GRE test, but if it ultimately helps with the MCATs, then I’ll put in the extra effort. Thanks in advance for all your responses!

I plan on taking the GRE in about two months. I want to buy a study guide, but I need to narrow it down a bit. Borders has a plethora of guides.

I am planning on taking the GRE in a few months and would like to brush up on my math. I have found good online resources for vocab but have not had the best luck finding good websites to study math. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I’m taking the GRE biology test in a 2 months and I’m planning to buy a book to study with, but I’m not sure which is better, Princeton review or Kaplan?

This will be my first time taking the GRE and I am wondering which book is better in preparing you for the exam. I’ve already bought a Princeton 2010 GRE book but was wondering whether I should purchase another book (such as Kaplan, Barron’s, or some other book). Which books, study habits, and test techniques helped you? I am wanting to get an M.A./Ph.D in Psychology as I am a double major in Psychology and Human Development with a Minor in English. Thanks!

my friend just got finished taking the GRE. She needs a minimum of 1100 to get into most grad schools that she is applying for. She took the computer based test and got a score of 1090. However, she did a writing portion also. We were wondering if the writing gets added on top of the score or if it subtracts. I looked at the ETS website but it didnt really explain. the writing is only worth 6 points?
