HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE GRE BIOCHEMISTRY, CELL AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY TEST

Don’t worry.” Easier said than done, but rest assured that this book will help you assess yourself as well as the test. As with other GRE subject tests, the GRE Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology Test gauges knowledge that you have gained throughout your academic career. Most of what’s tested on the GRE Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology Test will require you to make use of information you learned in your General Biochemistry courses in college.

We at REA believe the best way to prep for the GRE Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology Test is to replicate the complete GRE test-taking experience. Toward that end, we provide two full-length exams that accurately reflect this subject test in terms of format, content, and degree of difficulty. Our practice exams mirror the latest GRE Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology Test forms and include every type of question that you can expect to encounter when you take the exam. Following each of our practice

exams is an answer key complete with detailed explanations and solutions. Designed specifically to clarify the material for the student, the explanations not only provide the correct answers, but also explain why the answer to a particular question is indeed the

best choice. By completing both practice exams and studying the explanations that follow, you will isolate your strengths and weaknesses. This, in turn, will enable you to concentrate on attacking the sections of the exam you find to be toughest.

Participate in Study Groups

As a final word on how to study for this test, you may want to study with others. This will allow you to share knowledge and obtain feedback from other members of your study group. Study groups may make preparing for the exam more enjoyable.

SCORING THE TEST

Each correct response on both our practice tests and the actual exam earn you one raw score” point, while each incorrect answer results in a 1/4-point deduction; omitted responses are not counted. Here is a formula for calculating your raw score:

__________ (__________ X 1/4) = __________

# of questions # of questions

correct incorrect

Now use the Conversion Chart to determine your scaled score range.

REA’s practice tests emulate every content and formatting aspect of the actual test. Your performance on our practice tests will, of course, only approximate your score on the actual GRE Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology Test, because ETS uses a computerized statistical formula to weight performance.

TEST-TAKING STRATEGIES

Although you will probably have to take both the GRE General Test and the GRE Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology Subject Test, try to avoid taking them on the same day. Taking any test is stressful, and after sitting for one extremely long standardized test, you will hardly be at your best for a second. Be sure to register for testing dates several months before the due date to ensure that the graduate schools you designate will receive your scores by the application deadlines. Most schools will not consider an incomplete application.

Because the test is not divided into sections, you are completely responsible for budgeting your own time. All the questions are worth the same number of points, so

you should not spend too much time on any one item. The GRE Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology Test attempts to cover a broad range of topics. It is unlikely that you will have complete knowledge of all of them. It is important that you do not spend too much time on questions you find difficult at the expense of working on those that are easier for you.

The time constraints are such that, on average, a little less than a minute is allotted for each question. Thus, it is unlikely that you will have time to answer all 180 questions; however, you can still receive an excellent score without answering all of them. Because the questions are in no particular order, we recommend making a complete sweep through all the questions on the test. Answer the ones that are immediately easy for you

and mark those that you want to revisit. Once you have answered all of the easier questions, you can use the remaining time to go back through the test and work on the harder questions, which require a greater amount of your time. In this way, you will ensure that you have the chance to answer all the questions you are likely to get correct, instead of spending valuable time on difficult questions near the beginning of the test and leaving easy questions at the end of the test unanswered.

The penalty for wrong answers should not deter you completely from guessing. If you have no clue what the answer might be, by all means press on. However, if you can eliminate one or two of the fi ve choices, it is to your advantage to make an educated guess. Statistically, guessing randomly among the five choices would give you the possibility of guessing correctly 1/5 of the time. (This is what the quarter-point deduction for wrong answers is designed to balance.) Being able to eliminate three of the choices as wrong answers means that guessing between the two remaining choices would give you

a far better chance of being correct.

THE DAY OF THE TEST

On the day of the test, you should wake up early (after a decent night’s rest, we hope) and enjoy a good breakfast. Make sure you dress comfortablyin layers so that you are not distracted by being too hot or too cold while taking the exam. You should plan on

arriving at the test center early. Doing so will spare you the needless anxiety that comes from racing the clock. It will also allow you to collect your thoughts, focus, and actually relax before taking the exam. Before you leave for the test center, make sure that you have two forms of identification. You will not be admitted to the test center without proper identification. Acceptable forms of identification include a driver’s license, Social Security card, birth certificate, passport, and green card.

Make sure you bring at least two sharpened No. 2 pencils, with erasers, to the exam. You may want to wear a watch to the test center; however, only ordinary watches will be permitted. Watches with alarms, calculator functions, flashing lights, beeping sounds, etc., will not be allowed. In addition, neither food nor calculators will be allowed into the examination room.

DURING THE TEST

When you arrive at the test center, try to sit in a seat where you feel you will be comfortable. No breaks are given during the exam. If you need to use the rest room,

or if you become ill, you may leave the examination room, but you will not be allowed to make up any lost time.

Once you enter the test center, follow all of the rules and instructions given by the test supervisor. If you do not, you risk being dismissed from the examination or having your GRE Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology scores voided, meaning that they will not be scored.

When all of the test materials have been distributed, the test instructor will give you directions for filling out your answer sheet. You must complete this sheet carefully since the information on it will be printed on your score report. Write your name exactly as it appears on your identification documents and admission ticket, unless otherwise instructed. Make sure you do not write in your test booklet or on your answer sheet, except to fill in the oval corresponding to the answer you choose. Scratch paper will

be provided. You will be marking your answers on side two of your answer sheet. Each numbered row will contain five ovals corresponding to each answer choice for that question. Fill in the oval corresponding to your answer darkly, completely, and neatly. You can change your answer, but remember to completely erase your old answer. Only one answer should be marked. This is very important, as your answer sheet will be machine scored, and stray lines or unnecessary marks may cause the machine to score your answers incorrectly. Work only on the test section on which the test instructor has instructed you to proceed. You should begin only when instructed to do so, and stop immediately when instructed to stop. Do not turn to the next section of the test until you are told to do so. When all of the sections have been completed, you should remain seated until all of the test materials have been collected.

Good luck on the GRE Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology Subject Test!
