If you are an undergraduate student you probably have not heard these three letters before, but graduate students know these three letters all to well. The Miller Analogies Test is required for admittance for certain graduate programs.
Just like the ACT or the SAT, your score determines if you are accepted to different graduate programs. Prospective graduate students can either take the test online or on paper at several locations on campus.
The test is designed to identify logical thinkers. Herbert Wilkerson, a graduate student at JSU, says, "students with a background in English will do well on the test because the analogies uses large vocabulary".
Students have 60 minutes to answer one hundred and twenty analogy questions.
Though it may not be as convenient, consider taking the paper test because the computer test costs $75.00 but the paper costs only $60.00. The late registration fee is $10.00.
Two forms of identification are required to take the test. One must be a photo ID and the other needs to have a social security number.
For the paper test, there is only one more date left; Dec. 2 from 4:00p.m. to 6:00p.m. in the Theron Montgomery Building. The computer test has two more dates, November 17 from 4:00p.m. to 5:30p.m. or 5:00p.m. to 6:30p.m. and December 1 from 4:00p.m. to 5:30p.m. or 5:00p.m. to 6:30p.m.
