KALAMAZOO -- Students planning to go to graduate school can get a head start on getting ready for their entrance examinations by taking a preparation course at Western Michigan University.

The courses, sponsored by the Office of Professional Programs and Conferences, will be offered from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. over four consecutive Saturdays in October. The classes will meet in Sangren Hall.

Classes for the GMAT preparation course will take place from Oct. 3 through 24. Topics covered will include reading comprehension, sentence correction, critical reasoning, problem solving and mathematics.

Classes for the GRE preparation course will take place from Oct. 10 through 31. Topics covered will include verbal ability, mathematics, problem solving, quantity comparison and analytical ability.

Both courses will include use of a computerized adaptive test disk, which simulates the computerized version of the test. The GMAT and GRE are no longer available in the pencil and paper format.
