<p>Hello. I am a sophomore in high school. I just want to get some information regarding the GRE. How is it like compared to the SAT? The ACT?</p>
<p>Wow... First, slow down - you're likely at least 5 years away from taking it if you choose to do so. Second, there are sample tests online, so you can judge for yourself. </p>
<p>The GRE isn't near as important to grad admissions as the SAT/ACT are for undergrad admissions. Don't worry about it, especially when you're not even halfway through <em>high school</em>...</p>
<p>Oh, i am just interested and curious about it. I am not worried at all. Yes, I know there are practice tests on the internet. I have all ready taken a practice test on CD in the Barron's book. </p>
<p>My scores were very very very very bad. I could have done better. I did not try ont he math. If I did, I could probably get a 620 or more I guess. The math is ridiculously easy for a test to get into graduate school. The reading well, ya.......... Pretty big vocabulary. </p>
<p>I guess the GRE face lift got canceled a few days ago. It is staying the same. I don't know if that is a good thing or bad thing.</p>
<p>MATH: 540 I looked the percentile and it was pretty bad. below avg I think by a little.
READING: 580</p>
<p>Well, thank you for letting me know that it is not worth as much as the SAT or ACT's. I really hate these standarized tests. I did quit poorly at the PSAT. Also did poorly on the sAT practice tests. So, I am studying for the ACT and taking practice test. I am doing a hell of alot better. perhaps a 300-400 score increase if it was in the SATscoring system.</p>
<p>dude, i wouldnt worry about GRE if i were you. get in a good college first, then you can start figuring out what to do. grad school is not for everybody. but if you really have your crosshairs set on grad school, maybe check out labs in a nearby university. </p>
<p>if your just wondering how u will do, just let you know that i did really bad on my SAT back then. but i only studied a week before my GRE general test, and i did fairly ok. (800Q640V5.5W) i figure all std tests r pretty much the same, once you get used to the format, their pretty easy.</p>
<p>It sounds like you've got a pretty good idea already from the practice tests. The math is suprisingly easy (more logic than actual math), and the verbal portion throws out words you didn't know existed. If you can pass an AP english or history exam, you can get a 6 on the writing portion of the GRE.</p>
<p>Should I take AP english or AP Lit? Should I just continue pursuing harder college classes such as Calc 3, Physics 3? My schedule is filled up fo next year for AP CALC, AP PHysics C, Honors Comprehensive American STudies II, and AP CHEM. My senior year, I have 2 spots for AP classes. So continue with my science?, or improve my english?</p>
<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>You can visit <a href="http://www.maxmytest.com%5B/url%5D">www.maxmytest.com</a> for free GRE sample and practice tests.</p>
<p>You should take whatever classes you want. You're in high school - enjoy it. In college you will take plenty of classes that will help you with the GRE. Mainly, though, all you have to know is 10th grade math and a lot of vocab, both of which can be studied easily independently. Plus, it depends on what grad program you go into - some care more about math, some verbal, some subject test. You shouldn't make high school class decisions based on the GRE.</p>
<p>Ya, I think you are right. Thanks for the advice guys.</p>
<p>Wow, you really need to slow down. I agree with most people that if you have 5 more years before you even apply to graduate school, then you should not hassle about the GRE quite yet.</p>
<p>However, I think that in order to learn those vocabulary words that are required to do well on the GRE, then you'll need to study as soon as possible. You can study for the GRE math section in less than a month, but if you want to learn the thousands of vocabulary words that are required to do well on the GRE, you'll need to start as soon as possible. Lucikly, many of the vocabulary words that you need to know for the GRE are also those words that you need to know for the SAT and ACT, so you have nothing to loose in studying for the verbal part of the GRE></p>
<p>Here are a few suggestion:</p>
