I just found out I have to take the GRE (Graduate Record Exam?) soon in order to apply for grad school.

Im just wondering if anyone can shed some light as to what exactly this test is; in reading descriptions of it it sounds basically like an SAT…

Thanks

vq30de from what ive heard from friends its just like the SAT’s and from what some of my friends have scored on it… it seems like its a joke…

now i think there are other tests geared towards what you wanna do in grad school… but i’m not really clear on that

Yea it’s very similiar to the SAT, but the test is done electronically.

you’re lucky, the GRE is like an extension of the SAT.

The GMAT on the other hand, bend over
