You can take the GRE at any time. There are plenty of books and resources to assist you with studying for the exam. There are practice tests online.

Kaplan has a GRE study program. Most colleges and universities have community education classes that you can sign up for that will assist you in GRE prep.

Here is the GRE site for more information:

Bottom line, if you study and prepare, I am sure you will do well.

Good luck!

Why will the GRE be harder since courses are not fresh in your mind? The GRE is not about any one subject- unless you actually mean a subject test(?). I have been out of college a number of years, yet I could probably still do well on the GRE at this point (I had over 2100 out of 2400 when I took it but this was the older GRE; the new one I believe has eliminated the numerically scored analytical section, which is a pity since basically now the GRE has only two 800 sections). If you have good reasoning skills, and you are able to read and write at a college level, and you can do some relatively simple math, you should be fine. You really don’t need any college-level refresher courses to take the GRE. I am not really sure what you are referring to here. As far as when to take it, I think you should take it ASAP if this is the final year and you want to enter in Fall ’08. I took mine in July right after my Junior year. But I think GRE’s are given pretty much year-round at testing centers.

Get a GRE study manual (Kaplan, Princeton Review) and preferably some software that simulates the GRE experience, and just take lots and lots of tests. If you do not know the math, I suggest doing GRE-level math problems (look at sample exams snd GRE study manuals to get an idea; most of them will have a section devoted to the math required for the GRE).

Again, you don’t need any college-level coursework to take the GRE. Almost anyone who has good math and verbal skills can do well on this exam.

You can take it at any time. I ‘m pretty sure I took it as a Junior. The only catch is that you need to look at the deadlines of the schools you’re applying to and make sure that the test results will reach them in time.

There’s not going to be anything content specific from your earlier classes. It’s a test of abstract reasoning.

You should get a new adviser. Yours sounds like a total schmuck.
