GRE Madness
When I recall my college application days and all the SAT practice exams I went through, it’s really hard to imagine me being so “behind” on my preparation. After all, I’ll be applying to grad schools later this year and nearly all of my fellow biology students took their MCATs this past summer.
I’m not a fan of this whole computerized testing business and definitely not a fan of the limited number of test dates for the subject exams. On the bright side, it appears that I might not have to take any subject exams. ButI might take the math anyway, which is mostly just calculus. So it really shouldn’t be a big deal… Or one should hope.
Ah, the joys of preparing for the future.

Umm, the math exam is a little more than “mostly just calculus”.
The exam starts at about Calculus I and goes up to topology, abstract algebra, and analysis.
A good chunk is the calculus sequence, but there is definitely more on it.
The regular GRE, though, I had a blast taking. The big thing is getting one of those practice CDs and take a half dozen or so practice exams on your computer. That pushed my scores up at least a couple hundred points.
