do you find GRE exam is a real way to judge calliber of student?

According to extensive research, the GRE is a better predictor of success in graduate school than the SAT for college. Also the GRE is one of many factors for gaining admission into graduate school. Your transcript carries the most weight,  followed by GRE,personal statement, letters of recommendations, and then if you're a science major, undergrad research.\n To concisely answer your question, I don't think one test can determine how someone will perform in graduate school.\nIn fact, some graduate schools only consider the GRE if you are applying from a school that the Committee has never heard of(US News and World Report 2005 ranking of Graduate Schools, Professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon).\nYour best bet is to make sure you have a good transcript.\n In all, I think someone's transcipt is the best predictor of success at the graduate level.

I suggest getting one of the GRE study guides from Princeton Review, Kaplan, etc.  Those things give you strategies for working with the type of questions you will have on the GRE.  They stress how to score points on the exam, how it is structured, how to use the answer choices, etc.  It won't make you an better at math, but it can prepare you for the exam (which is presumably what you are after).  Give yourself enough time to read the texts and get practice and even time to ask someone for some help on some of the types of problems.

Yes, you can. If you want to know if there are places in Germany where you can take the GRE the answer to that question is, yes.

The Graduate Record Examination or GRE is a standardized test that is an admissions requirement for many graduate schools in the United States. It is created and administered by the Educational Testing Service and is similar in format and content to the SAT. Its important to those who want to join graduate schools ..

"The Callan method is a long list of questions fired at individual students in a small group. Each question is asked 2 times, and repeated later, usually on three successive days. The first time the students can read the questions too. By the third time the teachers should be varying the content (focusing on the new item of the moment), and following up interesting answers. Every mistake is corrected. Students often have a three hour session, kicking off with revision and moving into new work. There are occasional writing exercises to break things up.\n\nPositives are:\n\nStudents get lots of different teachers, yet a well structured program.\nThey get comprehensible input, building up slowly.\nLevels are (should be) well monitored, students should be in more or less the right level.\nClasses are focused on language learning, not edutainment.\nNo students are left out, all is fair.\nCorrection is always given, if you believe in that!\nWhat the students are doing is responding as they wish to the teachers questions - it is more natural than it may sound.....in fact can be very natural.\nLittle time is wasted. Not even an issue in some other classrooms.\nStudents are guaranteed a decentish education. That is most important of all.\n\nNegatives:\n\nSome of the questions are a bit dopey.\n\nIt is monotonous. Not too boring if done well, however, though 3 hours is hard core.\n\nThe teacher is straight-jacketed. This is good in some ways, most teachers don't know their bottom from their elbow\n\nStudents are focused mainly on speaking, and mainly on responding to questions at that. Less of a problem than you'd think though.\n\nTeachers are not treated well, and the school exaggerates the benefits and scope of the method for commercial reasons.\n\nSo...........\nDo students succeed in this program? Yes, many do, otherwise the place would close. Many do not like it, but they do have a trial lesson to find that out. Students who really want to learn take to it better than lazy students. Shy students do not prosper, but where is this not so?"

I took the GRE last summer.  The most important thing is to focus your goal by looking at the average scores for the programs you are interested in.  This way you know if you need to focus on math or verbal.  Then you can use your prep time most efficiently.\n\nTo prepare for the verbal, I subscribed to the New Yorker magazine.  It was much easier to read the magazine for a few months than to cram some vocab cards.  how boring!\n\nI bought a prep book with 7 practice tests.  After each test, i graded each type of question - analogies, etc, to see where my weaknesses were.  Then I studied that type.\n\nIf you study hard, I'm sure you'll do well.  But i found that the recommendations were much more important in my app than my gre scores.\n\ngood luck!

The GRE (Graduate Record Exam) is a standardized test much like the SAT. You needed the SAT (or ACT) scores for college, now you might be considering a graduate program that requires this exam. It is structured very much like the SAT with a verbal, math, and writing section. When I took it, I remember being told that the math was easier than SAT math, but that the verbal was more difficult. I don't know if this is still true;\n\nI believe anyone is eligible to take it, but before you shell out a good chunk of change to take it, find out if you actually need to take it. Talk to your professors, advisors, and read the literature for graduate programs you are interested in. Also visit the ETS (Educational Testing Services) Website at www.ets.org, you can also type in www.gre.org.\n\nIf you are a glutton for punishment and just want to take it for fun, then by all means don't let me stop you.

Well I think it's all marketing.  College Board and Petersen's Guide, they collect a lot of data on students, tests, schools and then they package and resell all that information back to others--like the students buy test guides and info on the schools, the schools buy addresses of students who did well on the tests, the tests get money from the students taking the "required" exam.  I think it's all a scam but schools seem to think they need some external standard of measure for a student and maybe they are right, who knows?

The GRE is for people who wish to pursue a graduate degree, and includes many disciplines.  It is similar to the ACT/SAT for undergraduate college, but harder.  There are alternative specialized tests for certain disciplines like law , masters in business, and medical school.

I wouldn't call this cheating since your intention is to only review the previous tests.  There is no guarantee that the test will be the same, so to me, it is no different then doing a sample quiz that many textbooks offer.\n\nHowever, it is cheating if you try to write the answers down and take that paper in with you.  \n\nGood luck on your exam.

THIS WORKS\n\nIt's all about your self talk before the exams.  Exams are not set up so you fail.  They are set so that you can prove how much you know.\n\nSo when you go into the exam think "This is Cool, I get a chance to show off how much I know"\n\nYou'll be amazed at how much difference it makes.  But you have to really believe this and not let the negative thoughts get in.\n\nGOOD LUCK

There's not a lot of studying that you can do.  There are some tests that assess your processing speed and perceptual reasoning abilities- and you can't really study for or fake those.

You're probably thinking of the GRE, the Graduate Record Examinations. This test is required for entrance into most MBA and graduate programs. There are plenty of online courses that help you to prepare for the exam. Just do a simple Yahoo! or other search for "GRE Preparation" and you'll find plenty of classes.

ANTECDOTAL RESPONSE:\nI have worked with gifted students from across the US at Duke University's TIP program for 4 summers. We take a "no-exam" approach, although we do evaluate and give feedback to each student.  This tends to be much more inducive to self-directed learning.\n\nANALYTICAL RESPONSE\nI think the following article will give you a very good overview of the faults of a competitive grading system: \n\nhttp://www.pdkintl.org/kappan/krumbol.htm\n\nThe authors assert a number of points:\n\nA.  THE ARGUMENT AGAINST EXAMS\n\n1. Exams tend to force teachers to look for mistakes and errors rather than give encouraging, positive feedback.\n\n2. The current exam system requires a sorting; rather than encouraging teachers to make sure that everyone understands the material, it can actually reinforce bad or ineffective teaching that results in "lower grades".  The perception is that it is a "difficult class" (which can sometimes be true), but seldom that the teacher has been negligent in her duties to educate her students (which could equally be true). \n\n3. Teachers are often daunted by the time and effort required to grade papers of all their students; the easy way out is to make simplistic multiple choice or fill-in-the-blank exams that only evaluate a student's ability to memorize facts rather than to process information and think critically.  Though facts are an important foundation for learning, a critical evaluation of those facts is a much more valuable cognitive skill.\n\nAnd yet, examinations can and do have an important role in learning.  Now I will share my counter-arguments:\n\nB. THE ARGUMENT FOR EXAMS\n\n1.  Periodic evaluation is necessary to observe progress towards educational goals.  Well-formulated exams allow us to demonstrate what we have learned and allow our teachers to see where individuals and the class as a whole are and adjust accordingly.  We can take pride in our strengths and become more aware of weaknesses.\n\n2. Knowing that there will be an exam and what is expected of us on that exam, can motivate us to push ourselves harder to master the material than if there had been no exam.\n\n3. Accountability for our studies (though teachers also share in this accountability) is an important principle that transfers over to the workplace.\n\nHope that helps!
