Executive Summary
Consider this: If Hispanic Americans and African Americans received the same average earnings as whites, the national wealth would increase and earnings as whites, the national wealth would increase by more than $230 billion in one year. This projection underscores the dramatic potential of national efforts to achieve diversity and equality in education and the workplace. As this report shows, however, the challenges are great, especially in these uncertain economic times. In recent years, a number of trends point to new opportunities as well as obstacles facing minorities and all Americans.

The Graduate Record Examinations® (GRE)

leadership training, public speaking training, and team building

Many students planning to attend graduate school take both the General and Subject GRE tests.

The General Test measures verbal, quantitative (mathematical), and analytical writing skills. It is offered throughout the year at specially equipped testing centers (some on college campuses). The student’s test day lasts as long as four hours, including at least 2½ hours for the exam itself.

The Subject Tests measure knowledge in specific subject areas. A student usually takes a Subject Test related to his or her undergraduate major. Subject Tests are offered very few times a year, usually at colleges, and take 2 hours and 50 minutes to complete. (The student should expect to be at the test center for up to 3½ hours.)

Further information about the tests — including how to register and how to prepare — is available at www.gre.org

The Law School Admission Test (LSAT)

The LSAT is required by nearly all law schools approved by the American Bar Association. The test is offered four times a year, usually at colleges. The LSAT measures aptitude rather than knowledge; it is designed to indicate a student’s readiness for success in law school. The test consists of a reading comprehension section, an analytical reasoning section, and two logical reasoning sections. The LSAT takes half a day to complete.

Further information is available at www.lsat.org

The Medical College Admission Test (MCAT®)

The MCAT is primarily a multiple-choice exam that tests knowledge of science as well as skills (such as problem solving and critical thinking) desirable for success in the medical profession. The test is made up of four sections: Verbal Reasoning, Physical Sciences, Biological Sciences, and Writing. The Writing Sample section requires the student to write essay responses to questions. The test is given twice a year at hundreds of test centers around the United States. The student should expect to spend all day at the testing center; a lunch break and other shorter breaks are included. Students must register for the test online.

Further information is available at www.aamc.org/mcat

The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT®)

The GMAT is taken by students planning to apply to graduate management programs (such as an MBA program). The three-section test measures skills — verbal, mathematical, and analytical writing — rather than knowledge. Actual testing takes 4½ hours; additionally, short breaks are offered between sections. The test is given at centers across the country; each center has its own schedule.
