First, you might find this hard to believe for the 21st Century, but the GRE Psychology Subject Test is only a paper test. There is no computerized version of the exam to be found in this universe. So dig out those No. 2 pencils and sharpen them with your teeth!
Second, the GRE Psychology Exam is all multiple choice and consists of 205 questions. This means you can play connect the dots while practicing your oval shading skills!
Third, the exam in broken down into three categories: Clinical and Social Psychology (43%), Experimental Psychology (40%), and General Psychology (17%). You'll want to dust off or buy back an advanced level introductory psychology textbook. It also might be helpful to give that Social Psychology textbook a whirl and to inquire with your professors as to a good textbook to use in preparing for the GRE Psychology Exam.
Finally, if you are a rising senior this Fall and applying to Ph.D. programs that require the GRE Psychology Subject Test try to take the exam in November. This will allow sufficient time for the reporting of your scores. Test dates are in April, November, and December.
