Graduate Record Examinations

The Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) is like the SAT, but computerized and intended for students applying to graduate school. Like the regular SAT, the General GRE tests for basic math skills, vocabulary, and writing. The subject GREs go into more detail on specific fields.

The General Test is given year-round as a computer-based test in the U.S., Canada, and many other countries. Paper-based General Test administrations are offered in areas of the world where computer-based testing is not available.

Davis does not have a testing site for the general GRE's; the closest site is in Fair Oaks, so students without cars are pretty screwed. However, the subject GRE's - biology, literature, philosophy, etc. - are available periodically on campus.

If anyone could provide information on bus services and other public transportation to the Fair Oaks GRE site, that would be great.

Pickup the goldline going towards rancho cordova at 7th and capitol light rail station (make sure to get a transfer ticket at 2.25). get off on mather fields/mills light rail station. take the 28 bus to folsom blvd and madison avenue. its in the shopping center. also, kinda awesome, if you walk towards sunrise for about 1/2 a mile, there is a trader joes. even if you don't do as well as you'd have liked, you get to shop at TJS!!!! —ascapoccia
