GRE Subject tests for engineering

[jamrock9]

Hi,

I just took the CAT form of the GRE last weekend and I'm applying mostly to electrical engineering programs. Do most applicants for graduate engineering programs have subject tests, like in the math, engineering or physics subjects, or do people usually just have the general test?

Thanks

There are no subject tests for engineering. You only have to submit your general GRE score.

That's what I thought a few months ago, but I read somewhere that there is a subject test in engineering, maybe I'm wrong though. Plus some of my applications say it helps to have the scores, but I haven't taken any.

Thanks

You might be thinking Computer Science.

you can check with the schools you're applying to and see if they require anything beyond the general test. I'm in EE as well and I never had to take a subject test
