Graduate Record Examinations

Apparently if I want to apply to UC Irvine (Comparative Literature) or UC San Diego (Art History) for a doctoral program, I have to take my GREs. I just downloaded and printed an 80-page practice booklet. Looks kinda hard. I’ll keep it in the bathroom (my office away from my office) and see how far I get in the next month or so. (Heavy competition for Lies My Teacher Told Me…) I haven’t looked into USC yet, but that seems to a be popular landing spot for recent art center grads.
I don’t like that I’ll have to take the computer-based test. Doesn’t seem like I would test well that way. The test takes 3 3/4 hours.
