Need help deciding which Grad school exam to take!!?

Question

Hey all! I need some help deciding which grad school exam to take. The Post-graduate school to which I am applying allows me to take any of the following. LSAT - GRE - GMAT - Miller’s Anthology.

Here is the catch... I have a decent head on my shoulders (I am finishing my second Bachelors degree), but I REALLY am quite terrible at Math.

If anyone can provide some guidance on which examination might be the easiest for someone who is more essay / comprehension minded I would greatly appreciate it.

Answer 1

If you don't do math then take the MAT - no real math on there.

It requires some serious strong reasoning skills but no math. ☺

The GMAT and GRE are both math intensive in those sections.

Answer 2

While most schools use several tests, different tests are designed for specific majors. I would check carefully to be sure that the test you take will be accepted by your desired major. Both of mine required a specific test. BE careful!

*Business majors, who do need math, usually take the GMAT. The format is computer adaptive and timed. You really have to move along and cannot go back. I did well, but felt pressured.
*The LSAT is a measure of verbal and reasoning skills designed for students who are going into law school. Not math, but focused on what you would need in law school.
*The GRE covers verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and critical thinking and analytical writing. It is accepted in various majors. I found it fairly easy, but the model they used for testing critical thinking at that time was very difficult. I understand that has changed, thank heavens.

I do not know anything about the MAT [Miller's Analogies test]. You could look it up. I love analogies and it sounds like a more verbal test.

You can find explanations online, but think about where you are going and check to be sure the test is what you need for that degree program.

Answer 3

what's a masters going to do for you? None of those fields are going to pay you to get a masters, so because it somewhat is in all possibility yet another 60k in loans, and then regulation college on suitable of that and you're watching 200k or extra in loans for 3 unmarketable ranges. There are a ton of out-of-artwork attorneys suitable now, and it is not getting extra appropriate.
