Admission Tests
Overview
While not all institutions use scores from standardized tests as part of the admission process, many do. The particular test required depends on the graduate school or professional program for which you are seeking admission. Check with schools of interest to learn which test(s) are required.
Familiarizing yourself with how the test is structured will help you prepare. Some students find it helpful to take a review course, but many find that using free and low-cost resources available online and prep books avilable for purchase are sufficient.
