The Office of Student and Career Services in conjunction with The Princeton Review Program hosted graduate record examination, A Post College Exam Preparation Seminar, in The John B. Coleman Library on Thursday, Oct. 05.The seminar was designed to expand the knowledge of students who are candidates for graduation as well as current graduate school students.
The GRE is a computer-adaptive test, which is especially geared toward graduate, post-graduate, and professional level students.
Sheleah Hughes, director of marketing for the Houston branch of the Princeton Review College Preparatory Institution, hosted the seminar.
Hughes discussed updates of the test, as well as the newest strategies to tackle the test. In addition, Hughes made herself readily available to answer all questions that students had in order to ease anxiety and lay myths to rest.
Senior Natashia Octave said, “I think that the seminar was very imperative for prospective graduate school students. This seminar really pumped me up for the test and put most of my fears to rest.” The Princeton Review also provided students with a welcome package comprising of GRE preparation tips, GRE testing dates and sites, what to expect from the exam, as well as a listing of top rated institutions, and what scores they expect.
The seminar was followed by a question and answer forum, as well as a meet and greet with Hughes, who is a Prairie View alumna.
Junior Cemone Pollard said “This seminar surpassed my initial expectations.I wish all perspective graduate students could have been present.
