So Many Books!

Did you know there are approximately twelve books at Barnes and Noble to help a person study for the GRE? And that's just for the general test! There are a whole bunch more for subject tests. So when it comes to all of these books, which one do you choose?

After great thought and much browsing, I finally settled on a book by ETS. They're the people that set up and design the GRE, so I figured that they'd be the best choice. You can check the book out at barnes and noble or look at it online.

Applying to Grad School?

Let’s face it. Applying to graduate school sucks. If you have to take the GRE (Graduate Records Examination) it’s even worse.

I’m a senior in college and currently undergoing the process of applying to grad school while still being a full time student, studying for the GRE, working 2 jobs, maintaining a relationship with my boyfriend, and attempting to stay social with my friends. Add to it the fact that all of the schools I’m applying to are about 1000 miles away, and it gets pretty stressful.

I figure this blog will be a great place to share advice and information about grad schools and the GRE. Speaking of that horrible exam, if you are planning on taking it, you can sign up on online here. They also have a really good program to help you study. It's called GRE POWERPREP, and you can download it to your computer from the website here. Simply fill out the information, and you're ready to go. Enjoy!



Also, I found this post on the University of Tennessee- Knoxville. It's one of the schools I'm looking at, and I thought the post was good. Check it out here.
