GRE Subject Test in Psychology

The GRE Subject Test in Psychology is administered by Educational Testing Service. It's purpose is to assess the degree of knowledge acquired by those psychology majors who wish to go on to graduate school. There are different factors which contribute to one's acceptance or rejection to graduate programs.These test results are used by graduate programs as a component in the decision-making process.

What is on the test?
The test itself is a combination of all areas relevant to psychology. The percentage of topical questions vary with each exam month (October, December, April), so the test is different each time it is administered. The areas covered on the exam are as follows:

Physiological and Comparitive Psychology
Sensation and perception
Developmental psychology
Learning and motivation
Cognition and human learning
Abnormal psychology
Clinical psychology
Psychopathology'
Personality psychology
Social psychology
Applied psychology
Methodology

What is the test format?
The test consists of about 200 questions (214 were on the April 1999 exam). The test itself is a multiple-choice format. The questions themselves involve either direct recall of information, or interpretation of information presented to you. The duration of the exam is 2 hours and 50 minutes, with no timed sections.

How should I prepare for the Psychology Subject Test?

Don't wait until the last minute to review. The earlier you begin to prepare, the better off you will be. It would be a good idea to review a general psychology textbook. This would give you an overall framework of information. Additionally, one would benefit from a commercial preperatory manual, which provides a review of topical information and practice exams. Websites can also be a good source of information. Please check our links page.

Is there any type of strategy that would enhance the potential of good scores?
Yes. You should first skim through the test and answer those questions that are easy to you. Then, you can go back and concentrate on the more difficult ones. This will save time for the more complex questions, while ensuring a better score since you've answered all that were easy for you.

The test is scored this way: incorrect answers warrant a 1/4 point deduction, while correct answers yield one full point. Thus, if you are able to eliminate some of the choices on a particular question, guessing every now and then would probably be to your benefit. Keep in mind that the test is designed such that no one answers every question; however, answering as much as you know is to your benefit.
