We are pleased to offer three GRE Overview workshops in two different North Carolina locations this fall, exclusively for UNC School of Social Work prospective students. Workshops begin at 9 a.m. and conclude at 4 p.m. with a one hour (on your own) lunch break. All workshops are free of charge. Participants are encouraged to purchase the study aid by The Princeton Review called "Cracking the GRE, 2010 Edition" which is available at Borders, Barnes and Noble or Amazon.com for about $15.

The Graduate Record Examinations® (GRE®) General Test is required by the Graduate School for admission to the MSW program at UNC-Chapel Hill School of Social Work. The GRE General Test measures verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and analytical writing skills.

By participating in the GRE Overview Workshop, participants will become familiar with the GRE test structure, review math skills and concepts likely to be tested on the GRE (including arithmetic, algebra, geometry and data analysis), learn how to study for the verbal section (including analogies, antonyms, sentence completion and reading comprehension) and develop a strategy to approach the analytical writing section which tests critical thinking. 

Additional information regarding the location and workshop will be sent after your registration has been received.

If you have questions about registering for the GRE Overview workshop, please contact Rachel Turner at (919) 843-8452 or e-mail.
