NEW YORK, Sept. 14 /PRNewswire/ — Spurred by trepidation over a jobless economy, more University students are planning ahead for graduate school. An increasing number of undergraduates are taking graduate entrance exams while still in school. Experts advise taking standardized tests while still in “study mode,” even if students do not plan to apply for graduate school right away. Most test scores can be banked for up to five years and stored away for when the time is right to apply. Standardized test preparation is important, and with more people seeking graduate programs, the competition is steep. To help with the process, The Princeton Review is offering free Test Fest events for students to take full-length MCAT, LSAT, GMAT and GRE practice exams with detailed score analysis. These events will take place on Saturday, October 17th at locations nationwide.

Experts say that taking a practice test is one of the best ways to prepare for graduate school entrance exams. The Princeton Review practice tests for the graduate school entrance exams are completely cost and stress free. The scores will not go on a student’s testing record. These free practice tests are meant to help students become familiar with the test formats, pacing, question types, and physical and mental demands of the graduate exams.

Students are also invited to attend a free scores back session, where they will receive a personalized, detailed score report broken down section by section. The scores back session reveals students’ strengths and weaknesses and, by working with a Princeton Review expert instructor, the session provides students with strategies to develop the best prep plan.

Space is limited, so students should register now. Those that attend Test Fest are eligible for special savings on MCAT, LSAT, GMAT and GRE courses.  To learn more or to reserve your spot, visit us at www.PrincetonReview.com/GradTestFest or call 800-2Review (800-273-8439).

Additionally, two first prize winners will receive a free classroom or online MCAT, LSAT, GMAT or GRE course.  Students can register to win online at www.PrincetonReview.com/DreamTour or by calling 800-2Review (800-273-8439).
