- Hi,
-
- I just heard about this over the weekend & I thought that some of you
- may be interested in it. The Sylvan Learning center worked out an agreement
- with the GRE testing people and this is what resulted :
-
- 1) Starting 10/12/92 you could schedule and take the GRE
- exam any day and time on a computer at Sylvan. - as
- opposed to 4 predetermind times per year thru GRE.
-
- 2) Your exam is scored immediately and you receive your
- scores upon completion of the test.
-
- 3) They guarantee that your choice colleges will receive
- your scores within 15 days of your test date - as
- opposed to 6 weeks through GRE.
-
- 4) *AND* after you complete your test, before you are
- shown your scores, you have the OPTION of cancelling
- the test and you will not see the scores, but neither
- will the colleges that you are applying to. This is
- very nice in that if you don't think that you did well,
- that particular test will not be average with your new
- scores when you take it again.
-
- Also, the price is very reasonable. They charge the normal $45 to
- give to the GRE people and another $40 or so for Sylvan.
-
- This is only offered at a few Sylvan centers - contact Patty at
- the Edgewood center (247-4463) for information (tell her that you read
- about it on the InterNet) and she will let you know the center that is
- nearest you.
