Hi everyone. Just took my GRE and did very, very well according to the unofficial score they gave me after it was done. Phew! Does anyone know of any instances where their actual official score was different than the score they saw on the screen? I really want my scores to stick! I think I am just anxious now. Standardized testing sucks..

Thanks for the advice! Any other opinions would be greatly appreciated!

No real tricks for the exam, other than eliminating answer choices and just guessing. I find that with a lot of the questions, you either have to explicitly know the answer to be able to discern between 2-4 very similar answer choices (which statistical test would you use, which experimenter did what, etc), or have a general gist of what the answer is and eliminate obvious wrong answers.

Hi all. I am taking my GRE in a week and was wondering what people experienced with the test. Did you guys run into any questions on the math section that were complete WTF moments? Is the difficulty of the questions comparable to those found in ETS 10th edition or Kaplan or Peterson's (I'm using these 3 to study)? Also, did anyone have a majority of questions on the verbal of 1 type? I'm dreading antonyms and analogies and am praying for lots of sentence completions.

Hey everyone. I keep hearing that a Masters in psychology usually doesn't give you a leg-up career wise, but how about one in I/O psychology? Will it provide opportunity for higher pay and more lucrative positions? I did searches on indeed.com for jobs in I/O psych and most required a Masters or higher, but would going the PhD route be a better alternative?

^ I really don't want to go into a Master's program if PhD programs will offer a Master's after 2 years. I am a bit discouraged that the majority of PhD candidates got their MA before entering the PhD program. Is going straight out of college to a PhD in I/O psych a common and/or accepted practice?

Hi all. I'm planning on applying to I/O programs this fall. I will be an undergraduate senior this coming year w/ a double major (honors in both) and a 3.9 GPA at a top 50 university. I will be doing research with an I/O faculty this fall and have had 1 other semester doing research work. I have a few questions: -Is it a good idea for me to apply to PhD programs without having graduated yet? Or is an MA option the best idea? I am VERY confident that I/O psych is the kind of work I want to be doing. -The "recommended" Psychology GRE: I'm very sure I can get a great score on this exam (psychology regurgitation on a MC test is one of my strong points). Is it worth the time or is it a worthless stat? -Are applicants who apply to PhD programs and don't get in offered a spot in MA programs? -If anyone has helpful admissions information about Columbia, NYU, or Baruch, that would be great.
