so I'm about to start my grad program this fall and I was wondering if any of you guys that decided to do graduate work took the GRE! AND if they offered you any dates besides the two per school year?!?
The only date they offer the rest of the year is the October 25th date and my sister is getting married then so.....just wondering if you took it online if the dates would be different than the paper based ones!
Thanks!

Yeah, all you have to do is go to their offices the week after the 25th test and request they sign you up for the next one. Usually they're quarterly and it shouldn't be a problem at all, so long as you address them a week after the next test. Because they will be busy with the test processing and will have a lot to do and it would be just mean to bother them with a little sign up while they are so busy.

It should list all test dates and sites for both computer and paper based tests. The computer based tests are given quite frequently.

Thanks! From a quick glance at the ETS website, the two dates is for the paper version; the computerized version is offered several times a month. This matches up with what I remember, having taken it back in '02 or '03. Call the local test center to check. Worst case, I know they offer a Monday option to account for people who can't take a weekend test due to religious obligations. Maybe you can get into that.
Sometimes I wish I didn't know now the things I didn't know then.

Step 1 - Remove the drywall on each side of the crack to the nearest stud on each side and a height of 42". I chose the height of 42" so I could cut off the recessed edges of the 48" sheet. You may need to remove window and floor trim before removing this piece.
Cut the drywall so it is flush with the nearest stud as shown on the pictures at the right and below. Use a utility knife or a saw set to a shallow depth. Do not use a saw that cuts beyond the depth of the drywall since you may cut an electrical wire! What you will then do is attach 2" by 2" blocking to the studs and then the patch piece will attach to the blocking. This leaves the existing drywall securely attached to the existing studs.
Step 2 - Attach 2x2 blocking to the studs so the patch piece will lie level with the existing drywall. Attach plywood behind the horizontal edge. The patch piece will then attach to this plywood.
Step 3 - This is a good time to add a new outlet or replace the insulation. If adding a new electrical outlet or doing other electrical modifications, hire a qualified electrician if you are not qualified to do these tasks. In the photo shown on the right, I replaced the old matted down rock wool insulation I had with new fiberglass battes and also placed a vapor barrier over the top.
Step 4 - Cut out a single piece of drywall to fit your space. Match flat edges with the flat edges of your wall. I cut off the recessed edges so the top of my piece would be flush with the horizontal edge of the existing piece. You don't want to match a recessed edge with your flat existing edge. Fasten the drywall in place, placing screws about 8" apart. Make sure the screw head sit slightly below the surface. Check by running a taping knife over the top - if it touches a screw, then use a regular phillips head screw driver to slightly drive the screw in a bit so the head is below the surface.
Step 5 - Place joint compound over the joints and then place precut pieces of paper tape on. It is very helpful to quickly pass the tape through a bucket of water before putting it on. Use a 4" or 4.5" knife to imbed the tape. Press the knife at an angle as you "squeeze" out the excess joint compound. The excess compound will shoot out the sides. More info on taping is given here. After applying the tape, use leftover compound to fill in screw depressions. Allow all of this to dry thoroughly before proceeding to the next step.
Step 6 - Before doing anything, use your taping knife to scrape off any compound sticking up. The surface must be level for the next coat to go on properly. Place a coat of compound over the taped joints out to a width of about 8". Use a 10" knife, held at an angle to draw off the excess, leaving a level coat over the tape. Use leftover compound to coat any remaining screw depressions. Let this thoroughly dry before proceeding.
Step 7 - Before doing anything, use your taping knife to scrape off any compound sticking up. The surface must be level and free of bumps or ridges. Since this is a butt joint, place a 6-8" wide coat of compound on each side of the tape. Draw the coat down with your taping knife, leaving a thin tapered coat on each side of the tape. You will then place a middle coat in the next step. Use leftover compound to coat any remaining screw depressions. Let this thoroughly dry before proceeding.
Step 8 - Before doing anything, use your taping knife to scrape off any compound sticking up. The surface must be level and free of bumps or ridges. Place a coat of mud over the middle region that overlaps on to the previous two side coats. Draw the coat down with your taping knife, leaving a thin tapered overlapping the two coats of the previous step. Let this thoroughly dry before proceeding. If you see the need, repeat Steps 7 and 8 to widen this joint out a bit more. In my case, I was able to progress to the next step.
Step 9 - Scrape down your surface level with your taping knife. Then use a trouble light or household lamp with the shade removed to cast a low angle light on your surface. This low angle light will show you where there are small recesses or drag marks. Place fairly small amounts of thinned compound in recesses or depressions and use your 4 1/2" or 10" knife to draw off the excess, just filling the recesses. Also, you can place a very light coat to blend in the edges of two coats if needed. Apply sufficient pressure so you are not coating the drywall so much but rather filling in low spots or drag marks. Allow this to thoroughly dry and repeat this step if needed.
Step 10 - Scrape down your surface level with your taping knife. If your inspection light, held at a low angle, does not show any depressions or drag marks, then you are ready to sand. Use a fine 220 or 250 grit paper on a 8" or 10" by 3.5" sanding block. Very lightly sand using a circular random motion. This is just one final step to level your surface. You should not be taking any significant amounts of compound off with this sanding. Inspect the surface again with the light. If it shows no defects with the light, clean the surface of dust, prime, and paint. Note that if you do not prime, your patched area may have a different finish from the rest of your wall. In fact, for the most uniform finish, prime and paint a section of the wall up to a nearby corner or doorway.
Several pictures of the finished wall are shown on the right.
Bow ties are coool.
