, Introduction
www.ThePrincetonReview.com
, So You’ve Decided to Go to Grad School…
Much like the SAT that you probably took to get into college, the GRE, or the
Graduate Record Exam as it is officially known, is required for admission to many
graduate programs. GRE test takers include future engineers, historians, philoso-
phers, psychologists, nurses; even veterinarians. In short, the GRE is used by al-
most all graduate programs except medical school, law school, and business school.
It may seem odd that a student who is applying for an advanced degree in architec-
ture must take the same exam that a student applying for a degree in comparative
literature does. In many respects, it is. The GRE, like the SAT, purports to test ap-
titude instead of specific knowledge of a subject. Depending on what grad school
program you are going to, you might also have to take a GRE subject exam.
Some programs simply have a minimum combined score that all applicants must
achieve. Others, such as creative writing programs, care far more about the Verbal
score than they do about the Math. One would think that engineering programs
would care more about the Math score (and some do), but most engineering appli-
cants score in the very highest percentiles on the GRE quantitative section. There-
fore Verbal scores, not Math scores, become more effective when comparing one
candidate to another.
If you are frustrated that the skills you need for the GRE bear little resemblance to
the subjects you will be studying in grad school, remember three things:
1. The GRE is not a content test. It does not test a body of knowledge,
such as U.S. History or French. It is designed to test a very specific
way of thinking.
2. Taking the GRE is a skill, and like any other skill, it can be learned.
That is what this book and Cracking the GRE are all about. With
diligence and practice, you can learn everything you need to know
for the GRE in a surprisingly short period of time.
3. The GRE is only one factor of many that will be considered for ad-
mission, and it is often the easiest to change.
How Much Does the GRE Matter?
The simple answer is: It depends. Some programs consider the GRE very impor-
tant, and others view it as more of a formality. Because the GRE is used for such
a wide range of graduate studies, the relative weight given to it will vary from field
to field and from school to school. A master’s program in English Literature will
not evaluate the GRE the same way that a Ph.D. program in physics will, but
it’s hard to predict what the exact differences will be. A physics department may
care more about the Math score than the Verbal score, but given that nearly all of
its applicants will have high Math scores, a strong Verbal score might make you
stand out and help you gain admission.
