I've already graduated from college. I'm just interested in grad school.

The tests are not what they appear to be on the surface. There are a lot of hidden patterns and hidden agendas to the test.
Some people can walk into the test and do great without even practicing. Others can't. Take a diagnostic test, practice seriously for a month, then retest. If you are not a little above where you need to be, you may need help in order to be competitive.
Unfortunately many commercial courses are very superficial. You really have to look at the length of experience of the instructor and the amount of personal attention you can get.

I took the GMAT, if I had taken the math portion when I was 16 instead of 24, I would have done better. But its pretty basic stuff on both sides, there is a writing portion too, not sure if GRE has that. I would recommend not taking either until you know for sure what your plan is for your course of studies, different universities and programs at the same universities sometimes require a specific one. My program it had to be the GMAT, the GRE would not work to be accepted.

Go to your universities counseling offices, they should have some pretty good brochures or I'm sure there is a GMAT or GRE webpage. They arent going to hit you with some surprise. I would suggest really practicing a lot of the questions, also available in the aforementioned locations, because the test is mostly difficult because the style of questioning isn't what most people are used to, getting used to the way they formulate their questions is very helpful. Good luck.

You should take a practice test; ETS offers one for free (www.ets.org). I'm not taking the GMAT, but the GRE...its format is similar to the SAT but the Vocab is more difficult and the math is easier (or so I've been told). Study a lot and you'll be fine.
