امتحان GRE مخفف Graduate Record Examination می باشد که در دو نوع موضوعی Subject و کلی General توسط سازمان ETS برگزار می شود. معمولا در پروسه های درخواست ادامه ی تحصیل در خارج از کشور ( از جمله دانشگاه های امریکایی) برای رشته های زیست شناسی (تمامی گرایش ها) از درخواست کنندگان علاوه بر نمرات زبان مثل تافل و آیلتس، نمره  GRE Subject نیز درخواست میشود.

 

GRE Subject  برای زیست شناسی دو شاخه است:1- زیست عمومی 2- بیوشیمی و زیست سلولی و مولکولی. برای ادامه تحصیل در گرایشهای زیست شناسی مورد 2 یعنی بیوشیمی و زیست سلولی و مولکولی پیشنهاد می شود.

این امتحان شامل 180 سوال تخصصی 5 گزینه ایست که با احتساب نمره منفی هر 4 جواب غلط، طیف نمرات از 200 تا 900 است.این امتحان سه بار در سال در ماه های آوریل،سپتامبر و اکتبر بصورت paper-based برگزار میشود.

منابع برای بیوشیمی: بیوشیمی استرایر، برای زیست سلولی و مولکولی: آلبرت میباشد.

جزوه ی انگلیسی خلاصه شده برای GRE Subject  بیوشیمی و زیست سلولی و مولکولی بهمراه سه سری نمونه سوال تهیه شده که به قیمت ۵۰ هزار تومان برای شما ایمیل خواهد شد.

پس از واریز مبلغ پنجاه هزار تومان به جمعیت امام علی
