GRE Resources
Do you need to take the GRE?
The GRAD Center has created a GRE Library and has compiled a list of resources (including videos) to assist students in preparing for the GRE.
The best way to begin preparation for the GRE is to take a practice test to gain a better understanding of your areas for growth.
- ETS offers two free practice exams that simulate the actual test environment via their POWERPREP Online.
- There are many free apps available that act as digital flashcards focused on GRE vocabulary. While the GRAD Center does not endorse any app, an example is Magoosh.
- Another opportunity is to try podcasts that purposely use GRE words in context (e.g., GRE Vocab).
- We also encourage students to visit the University Library to find GRE books on general and subject exams (search "GRE" in OneSearch).
- Test preparation programs tend to be very expensive; students who receive the Fee Reduction for the GRE also qualify for free test preparation through ETS. Apply for the Fee Reduction now to gain access to these resources!
