Gre

[letterboy]

Ok so my G/F just took the GRE test this morning . . . so as I don't feel like a total idiot can anyone enlighten me as to what is considered a good score . . . I don't want to sound much more like an idiot when she starts talking about them, she is going to grad school, I graduated highschool and went right to work. . . anyway If anyone knows I would love to know

Thanks!!!

John

When I was an academic at a lower tier University in the so-called "hard" sciences, we required a GRE, but had no minimum score. Basically, if the student had a pulse, that was just about good enough... (That's really a whine and cheeze, though )

It's great that the GRE (and many other tests) are now administered by computer, and you get your results instantly. However, some of the "adaptive" techniques they use prevent you from using typical test taking strategy (do the easy questions first & come back for the hard ones later).

I wish you & gf all the luck!!!!

wow, that's quite a masters program! All the best to her. Praying for mojo. I don't think the gre would count for much in that type of program.

FYI: most canadian universities don't require them for North American uni grads (at least for the sciences).
