GRE

Graduate Record Exam (GRE)

Those of you planning to go to grad school in math will need to take the GRE - both the General exam, with its Analytical Writing, Verbal Reasoning, and Quantitative Reasoning (i.e. Math) sections, AND ... the separate Math Subject Test. You will want to take these tests this October or November (and not on the same day).

Getting accepted to most good graduate programs depends on getting a good score on these tests.
It is essential that you start a program of preparing for them NOW!
