PostHeaderIcon What is the GRE subject test and do I have to take it?

Looking for info on gre preparation classes, gre preparation courses,gre test course and more?

Hi and welcome to my blog,

I opened this blog to help anyone who is preparing for his GRE exam.
I remember myself when I started - I was so lost and in such a panic.
Luckily I got this great Gre guide that helped me a lot
So study hard and good luck!



I see they have eight subject tests, but the subject I want to do a Ph.D in (history) is not there. So, does that mean I don’t have to take the GRE subject test to get into grad school. I only have to take the general GRE? Please explain…

    Most of the time, you just have to take the basic GRE. Programs usually ask for a subject GRE if they know many different undergraduate majors will apply for the program (id est, I am applying for a Neuroscience PhD program; since they recieve apps from bio majors, chem majors, physio majors…they require that you take a GRE Psych test).
