I just scheduled my GRE for 12:30 on December 6th. My god, that's a pile of money. Also, eep. Grad school.

If you don't me asking, how long did you study for the GRE? I'm curious because I'm applying to graduate school for next summer and I have to take the GRE for one school and the MAT for another.

GOOD LUCK!!!!

Do not do as I have done:

I really haven't studied. My planned study time is between now and December 6. I put off doing anything about grad school and now I'm aiming for a February admissions deadline. When do your numbers have to be in? The friend who just gave me her used GRE prep book said she did the email problems-a-day they offer on the website, and then spent the last two months before the test going through the book a bit a couple of times a week. toft_froggy recently crammed for the GRE and might be willing to answer questions, too.

Deep breaths. It'll be ok.

What does GRE mean?

oh god, definitely deep breaths. I still hate the GRE, and I took it like four years ago. You will do awesome! Do you have to do a subject test, or just the general?

I believe you. I believe you. I believe you. ::breaths::

Graduate Record Exam. It's the required standardized test for continuing from bachelor's degree to graduate school.

I don't think I need a subject test. And that's encouraging, hah. I really liked the SATs - that's a good sign, right? (Right?) At least, I'm hoping I don't need a subject exam because I don't think I have a subject - I was an area studies major, and now I'm looking at more area studies + some kind of epidemiology dealio?

no no, didn't mean to scare you - if the universities you're applying to don't require a subject test, then don't worry about it. The GRE is a lot like the SAT, so you should be fine - I hated it intensely partially because I'm Canadian and never had to deal with the SAT.

Oh, don't worry, I didn't mean to sound so hyperventiliatingly terrified. I am maintaining my calm! I took the SAT for the first time when I was like 12, so I think of it as an old friend.
