2. Prepare for the Graduate Record Exam (GRE)

The Graduate Record Exam scores are required for admission to some graduate programs. In fact, these scores may be used as an arbitrary cut-off for screening candidates for admission. Minimum GRE scores for admission to a particular graduate program may be listed in ASHA’s Guide to Graduate Education. (See the CAA link, above)

There are many study aids to help you prepare for taking the GRE. Our department has a computerized study program available for your use. Occasionally there are study courses available through IPFW’s Continuing Education programs. Self-paced study books are also available in the Donewald Library. Application form booklets are available in Neff 239 under the faculty mailboxes.

Plan ahead for taking the GRE. If you have test-anxiety, the better prepared you are before the test, the better you are likely to do. Have a strategy so you can do your best. Take the test early enough that you can be sure your scores will be available by the deadlines set by the graduate programs.

Be sure to have your GRE scores sent to the programs which require them. Follow up to see that these scores have been sent (and received) just as you follow up on other materials.
