Nope, not the same. GED is the "equivalent" to a high school diploma, while the GRE is taken to get into graduate school (like the SAT and ACT to get into college as an undergrad) And pushit, I'm thinking about joining the Peace Corps too! I'm actually looking for info about the daily life of a volunteer...
I took a practice GRE and the math portion was okay, but the verbal portion was BRUTAL. All my friends in grad school say that you should buy a book and study before you take the real GRE but that the GRE study classes are bullshit and a waste of money. Hope that helps.
I just took it 2 months ago. I had been casually studying vocabulary for about 6 months, but I only "hard-core studied" for 2 weeks before. I took a paper practice test(they have electronic, which would be better). I also read through a book and printouts from the GRE website with tips on how to take the GRE. For example, you don't always have to solve the math problem to get the answer. I generally test pretty well, but with minimal studying I got a 1230. You just have to study the right things.
I took it about a year ago and I def. recommend getting a study book and going over it. There is a trick that the books teach you on how to take the test and stuff. I got a 1150 on it and felt the book helped me.
I'm about to sign up for the GRE. What is score range? What score do most schools require? I'm trying to get into an ed psych program. I have about a 3.8 GPA for my undergrad. Do most grad schools solely look at GRE scores? Thanks!
I was accepted into and am about to begin a Master's of Public Health degree. I found with most schools that I looked at, the GRE score was only one of the parts of the equation. They also look at essays, GPA, activities, and other things that make you stand out. Some grad schools/degrees don't even require you take the entire GRE, but only subjects related to your field.
