If your score isn’t up to par, you may just need to take a remedial course before moving on to the college’s regular classes. Take the time to brush up on those skills and you’ll be back on track in no time!
Of course, there are still entrance exams for more advanced degrees. If you’re headed to graduate or business school, check your school’s website to find out whether you’ll need to take the GMAT or GRE. Many colleges (especially those offering programs online) no longer require these test scores. If you’re going to law school, though, you’ll still need to take the LSAT. And med school hopefuls, you’ll still be taking the MCAT.
Here are some helpful study resources for each exam:
- Graduate Record Examination (GRE)
- Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT)
- Law School Admission Test (LSAT)
- Medical College Admission Test (MCAT)
Entrance exams like these are designed to measure your capacity for success in the program. If this is a required exam, your score will carry a lot of weight in the admissions process, so if you think you may be weak in any of these areas, you might want to try a practice test or take a review course.
