Remember when you thought you were done with standardized tests after the ACT and SAT? Well, that was a lie!
If you are considering graduate studies, more standardized tests await you. Relaxing during senior year isn't an option if you want to get a graduate degree. Those sneaky and downright evil test-creators have developed a different test for almost every graduate field.
Whether you are considering medicine, dental, teaching, law, or science, to name a few, there is a standardized test waiting for you.
Don't fret, here's a go-to guide for upcoming 2008 exams. If you are considering graduate school, you should take the exam(s) in the fall of your senior year.
Most deadlines for graduate schools are at the beginning of the new semester or quarter, or mid-spring semester. Be sure to register quickly because the seats fill up fast.
Applications for testing centers and dates can be submitted online or through the pony express (traditional) mailing system. Online registration is recommended and speeds up the process by several days.
These exams don't come cheap and freebies aren't an option. Each fee varies by exam type and is required to reserve a seat and receive results.
A helpful hint, the fees are usually cheaper with online registration, so save a buck and get online to get your seat.
Here is a list of exam types, dates, and fees to get you ready and seated for graduate school applications. Each of the tests can be found on Google, which will direct you to the testing website for registration and information.
If you are looking for practice, you can visit Kaplan.com where test prep is offered or search globaleducationnopportunities.com for some additional tips and resources.
