The GRE General Subject test is required by most (but not all) OT programs. Competitive scores usually at least at the 50th percentile or higher (minimum ~300 combined Verbal + Quantitative), but vary by program.

GRE Prep

Each year the Health Professions Advising Center holds a GRE Workshop and offers an on campus practice test day. Many GRE study guides and materials are also available to sign out from the HPAC resource collection. Although we do not offer a formal GRE prep course at Bradley, HPAC advises students to help them develop a personalized strategy, timeline, and study plan to meet their individual needs. There are many commercially available GRE prep materials and services. We do not endorse any one over the others, but can assist students in choosing products and services that fit their learning style, timeline, and budget.
