NWR: GRE

Hello Ladies I am appling to grad school next year and I need to take the GRE. Does anyone know what the difference is between the GRE and the GMAT?

I really dont want to take a tutoring course, Should I?

Pretty sure GRE is for grad school, not business, and GMAT is for business school (MBA).

I took the GRE's...i would def study for it...You can buy the test prep books at barnes and nobles or wherever they sell books...

Its a ton of Math and English questions and you have to write an essay, there is also reading on it too.
Brush up on your math skills b/c you are not allowed to use a calculator! I was and still am horrible at math, so I pretty much guessed during the math part. Most grad schools require you to either get a 1000 on the GRE's or a 3.0 GPA to get in.

i took the GRE (it's for grad school)
i took a course to help me prepare for it.

all the other post-graduate exams are more specific to the type of program (GMAT, MCAT, LSAT)

Re: NWR: GRE

The GRE is used for most PHD programs and some masters. The GMAT is used pretty much only for MBA students.

There are 3 sections -- Math, Verbal, and Quantitative reasoning (logic games).

You should certainly review with a book that comes with a CD so you can take the test on computer -- which is how it is offered now.
