| The GRE
(Graduate Record Examination) is a standardized test
that is required for entry into graduate programs. There
are 3 sections: verbal, quantitative, and analytical
writing.
The verbal score ranges from 200 to 800 in 10-point
increments as does the quantitative score. The analytical
writing score is reported from 0 to 6 in half-point
increments. The analytical writing section consists
of two tasks: a 45-minute “Present Your Perspective
on an Issue” task and a 30-minute “Analyze
an Argument” task. Students may choose to word
process or handwrite their responses. However, score
reporting may take up to six weeks if you choose to
handwrite the response.
The GRE is given by computer on a regular
basis at the Sylvan Learning Center, 820 South University
Boulevard, Mobile, AL 36609, 251-344-6284. Also, you
may call 800-GRE-CALL or log on to the GRE web site
for more information.
A number of books about preparing for
the GRE may be found at any bookstore; also software
is available. The cost of the test is approximately
$115. The highest set of scores will be used if the
test is repeated.
