REA’s two full-lengthpractice tests are based on the latest editions of the exam. Our subject reviews are designed to prepare you for the very kind of material you are most likely to encounter when taking the actual test. Our sample tests have been carefully calibrated to match the GRE Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology Subject Test’s level of difficulty, its format, and, of course, the type and proportional representation of its content. Followingeach practice test you will find an answer key along with detailed step-by-step explanations designed to help you master the relevant material and score high. ABOUT REA’S TEST EXPERTSTo aid us in meeting our objective of providing you with the best possible study guide for the GRE Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology Test, REA’s test experts have carefully prepared our topical reviews and practice exams. Our authors come armed with specific knowledge of the GRE Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology Test. They have thoroughly examined and researched the mechanics of the GRE Biochemistry, Celland Molecular Biology Test to ensure that our model tests accurately depict the exam and appropriately challenge the student. Our experts are highly regarded in the educational community. They have taught and conducted scientific research at competitive institutions. They have an in-depth knowledge of the subjects presented in the book and provide accurate questions that will put you in a position to do your very best on the exam. ABOUT THE TESTThe GRE Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology Test is taken by students applying to graduate programs in biochemistry. Most programs require that applicants submit scores for both the GRE General Test and the GRE Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular BiologyTest; together with other undergraduate records, they are part of the highly competitive admission process to graduate school. Both tests are offered by Educational Testing Service (ETS) and administered throughout the United States and abroad. You can obtain a test registration booklet from your college or by contacting ETS directly. To determine if you should take the GRE Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology Test, contact the universities you are applying to for admission.

We'll pay the return shipping costs if the return is a result of our error (you received an incorrect or defective item, etc.). In other cases, you will be responsible for paying for your own shipping costs for returning your item. Shipping costs are non-refundable. If you receive a refund, the cost of return shipping will be deducted from your refund.
Depending on where you live, the time it may take for your exchanged product to reach you, may vary.
If you are shipping an item over $75, you should consider using a trackable shipping service or purchasing shipping insurance. We don’t guarantee that we will receive your returned item.
