Is it possible to write two write two Subject GREs in one day?

My WES analysis is done, they gave me 91 credits for my three year Ontario college advanced diploma, now we will see what COSC says. The problem...the credits are all lower level. The challenge I have now is getting upper level credits in a concentration.

I am considering doing a math-physics independent study concentration and writing the physics and math GREs to get the required UL credits. There is no way I will be ready for the November exams so I will have to do them in April. Will they let me write both in the one day? I understand writing two in one day may be a monumental task, I am strong in both areas but not strong enough to write in Nov!

Have you already asked COSC if combining GREs for credit toward one concentration is allowed? I have considered doing something similar, too, but do not know if they allow it.

I do not remember seeing the answer to your question on the ETS website. Send them an e-mail; they are very responsive.

From my experience, I would not recommend studying for 2 of these subjects at once and trying to take them on the same day, which is almost 6 hours of testing. Since you need a lower score than I did and have a better background, it may doable for you. When do you need to graduate? Can you have a back-up plan to take one the following October/November, if needed?

Whatever you decide, I'll be cheering for you!

I took the psych subject test twice and was planning on taking the math subject test too. When I was done and ready to leave after taking psych for the first time I asked this very question to our proctor. She said that was a very unusual question, and even though she'd been with ETS for a while she never heard it before. But she said that all tests are done simultaneously: same day, same start time, same end time. So the physics subject test and math subject test HAVE to happen at the same time. It's a big part of their commitment towards "exam content security" or whatever. I told her that I read on ETS' site about calling and making arrangements for "Monday testing" which is normally done for religious accommodations. Basically, "could I take one subject during the normal testing time and make a special arrangement to do a different subject the following Monday?" She said it wouldn't hurt to call and ask but she'd be shocked if they said yes. The Monday option is not there for convenience, it is definitely intended to avoid monumental issues like being accused of being prejudiced against certain religions.

Not on the normal testing day; when I took the Subject GRE, every subject was sat at the same time. I hadn't heard about the religious grounds waiver for another testing day so this might be an option. It would probably be an idea to call around testing centres to see firstly if they're aware of it, second if they can accommodate you and then call ETS to check for doubling up on entries for a single diet. Good luck!

edit: while I can see how you could get away with doubling up math/physics, the population of test-takers for the math subject gre seem to get reasonably strong scores. Okie, you only need to be at the 40th percentile to get credit at COSC but it's worth bearing in mind that some tests are a bit tougher than others due to scoring being based on how well everyone else has ever done on the test and not just percent right answers.

I decided I want to take the GRE last night and bought the iPad GRE for dummies app.
My goal is to score above 75th percentile on both the quant and language portions.
Is there some really accurate self test software I can buy to truly get a feel for what my score will be?
