Ok thanks. I'm taking a free online geometry class instead. It is really helping the GRE guide questions.

They want a minimum of a C, which I have, but will I be denied because it wasn't a B or A? Well I am taking a free online geometry refresher course. It is really helpful. The GRE guide geometry questions were too difficult for me before this class!

Well the math in the idiot guide has calculus, or so i thought. The class I'm in is pre-calculus or intro to calculus. The class is free, I can drop it. What math do I need? The math in the idiot guide looks very complicated. I don't need trig or calculus. I am lost.

I just realized while looking at the GRE Idiot guide that I needed calculus. I found an online calculus class through Ohio state university and it's self-paced, the textbook is a downloaded pdf file and homework is from the book and interactive online, and there are forums for teachers to answer your questions. Definitely recommend it for anyone struggling with the math on GRE.

Thanks for the input. I am doing flash cards of the GRE word list document I found, and I got the Idiot's Guide to the GRE at the library which has more vocabulary. can't believe some of these words are actually words. It makes me laugh lol

Thank you. I found out when I went on the site.

I actually am working on the GRE practice test since last night, you can save and come back to it. Essay part and reading I'm not worried about. The math is killing me, because it has advanced geometry which I haven't taken and possibly trig? I took advanced algebra and geometry. I aced my Geometry college class, but this is complex. The vocabulary is way out of my knowledge range. Is there someplace free you can study up and memorize these long complex vocab words? If so, that'd be great! I have my BA I know some big words but not these lol Whoever gave me the EDS site, I thank you though, it's great to know I can practice. I ordered a few GRE prep books at my library too. I am afraid to see my practice testing score lol

I would never say I've learned all I ever will in any job position. There is always room for learning in any job or field. Well I have done lots of volunteer experience, actually, tutoring ESL to spanish speaker(adult) for 2 years, worked with foster care teens for a few months in WI before I moved to IL, AIDS walk 2 times, took two autistic high schoolers to lunch when I was in high school, did spanish speaking social work internship working with low income families for 3 months and special olympics one event.

Cool! That's expensive, but the free option sounds great. So the GRE gives you a topic and you write an essay based on plausible examples, etc. Or do you choose the topic? What is ETS? Thank you so much for your help.

Well I have seen that every area is different when it comes to SLPA job opportunities. I found a great site that says which states have above average SLPA jobs. Here's the link: https://www.mynextmove.org/profile/state/31-9099.01?from=profile The orange states have above average opportunities. Luckily, I'm in the above average state. As far as bilingual, I am somewhat bilingual. I took 3 years of spanish in college, and my minor was in Spanish, I did a spanish speaking social work internship for 3 months. I also tutored ESL to a spanish speaking adult student for almost 2 years, but i terminated that so I can go back to college and won't have time for that. I am going to work full time while taking SLPA online program. (Hoping to work part time as SLPA during grad school) I can have a basic conversation, but I would have to brush up on speech language terminology in spanish to be considered bilingual in SLPA. In my job now, I speak spanish to some people that don't speak English. Believe it or not, I still have my spanish textbooks from college. I still think I have a chance at grad school, based on my spanish speaking skills. Time will tell.

To me, that is not low salary. I could live off of that except not the school system, unless it was 10 months. I would need something 12 months. That's good to know the SLPA experience did help you get into grad school. So how do you survive/live while going to grad school? Do you work part time anywhere? In my area, SLPA job opportunities are above average which will be helpful.

I see. So maybe I should apply to grad school right after getting SLPA? or 6 months after, maybe? Would that be too long?

Well I was going to work 20 hrs/week as SLPA. You don't think that would work?

Well I am limited to online schools, because the IL grad schools are too far. WI is the closest, which is online, which I like, is UW Eau Claire.

So great to hear. Are you going to work part time as SLPA during grad school? I would think SLPA would be experience booster that's why I'm going to get SLPA before grad school
