GRE
Potential graduate students to take entrance exam Saturday
y KKLLY ROM CO
STUDENT REPORTER
Students wanting to begin
graduate studies nrc required
to take the Graduate Record
Exam. The GRE is a four-hour
comprehensive test designed to
determine student academic
competence.
Tests are given repeatedly
(throughout the year. The next
test will be administered Satur
day. Students may sign up Tor
the test in the Testing and Uni-
versity Assessment Office locat
ed on the first floor of the
I Administration Building.
Most local bookstores such as
Waldcnbooks at the Mall of
Abilene sell study guides
designed to help students pre-
pare for the GRE. Two popular
guides arc Barron's GRE and
The Princeton. Both guides
include practice GRE tests.
The exam given by the Edu-
cation Testing Service of New
Jersey is comprised of three
sections each scored separately.
The verbal section includes
questions assessing vocabulary
and articulation. The quantita-
tive portion covers mathematics
and the sciences. The analytical
section tests student comprehen-
sion of analogies. All three sec-
tions arc combiqcd to produce a .
score ranging from one to 1600.
Students have the choice of
taking the GRE one of two
ways. The standard written
exam is offered at ACU for a
cost of $45.
The other is a computerized
equivalent to the standard test
offered in Dallas for $90. One
advantage the computerized
exam has over the written exam
is scoring can be determined
immediately .
Mark Finton Graduate School
recruiter said the GRE "tries to
convey your potential success
for graduate school."
Finton said many factors arc
taken into account when review-
ing the test scores to determine a
students eligibility for Graduate
School. Grade point averages
letters of recommendation and
previous employment records
arc combined to create a realis-
tic picture of the student. "In
that way most graduate schools
save some flexible arrange-
ments. We look at the whole
person" Finton said.
Finton a graduate student
said the GRE is similar to the
ACT because all undergraduates
arc required to take the ACT in
order to be admitted into ACU.
"It's the same kind of fill-in-the-bubblc
multiple-choice test
as the ACT" Finton said. "It's a
tough test" but the test is a fair
and realistic way to evaluate a
student for admission to gradu-
ate school he said.
