After college, GRE, MCAT, GMAT, LSAT...

<p>So DAT is for dental, LSAT for law, MCAT is for medical and GMAT is for business. Two questions, what is GRE for? Is it like SAT for seniors from school? And which test would I have to take if I want to get Masters in Economics/Math?</p>

<p>GRE is like the SAT. I think engineers, science/languge/other majors take this. I'm guessing Econ masters would be business school?</p>

<p>It depends on what post-grad school you want to go to.</p>

<p>For a PhD or a master's in economics, take the GRE.
For a MBA (Master's in business administration) aka business school, take the GMAT.</p>

<p>MBA is the one you want for business.</p>

<p>Lol guys, I will be freshman in college, I don't want to take GRE or other tests yet. My mom is working on her Masters and I saw that book about GRE, their math questions are ridiculously easy, I mean they are harder than SATII Math, but still I find them very easy cuz now I answered all of them with 100% result but I'll take the actual test after 4 years, after 4 years of math in college so I think I'll be a little bit smarter by that time.
P.S.: and English does not really look that complicated either</p>

<p>I think you take those tests in your soph/junior year of college?</p>

<p>I hope it's not sophomore. I'm starting sophomore year and that still seems very far away.</p>

<p>GRE is for all grad schools other than law, business or med.</p>

<p>and dent....</p>

<p>People generally take the GRE during their senior year in college. It is offered very frequently (some test centers offer it every weekday), so it's pretty easy to schedule.</p>

<p>The GRE math is easier than SAT math, but the verbal is harder. Neither section really tests things you learn in college.</p>

<p>The GRE is for graduate school; all the other tests (GMAT, LSAT, MCAT, etc) are for professional school.</p>

<p>There are also eight GRE subject tests that DO test what is learned in college (or are designed to, anyway). The math in the math subject test is considerably more advanced than that on the regular GRE. To what extent specific graduate programs require these tests I don't know.</p>
