If you are shooting for an MS or PhD in EE, then I would think taking the Math Subject Test could be a good idea since math is obviously important for signal processing, etc. For example:
Quote:
I have an opening for a Ph.D.student in my group starting either Spring or Fall 2008. Please email me if you have a good background in
- undergraduate probability (at the level of first 4 chapters of Bertsekas & Tsitsiklis),
- signal processing (at the level of first 4-5 chapters of Oppenheim &Wilsky's book), and
- linear algebra.
- knowledge of detection and estimation theory and of stochastic processes if you have an M.S. degree
It's good if you've done some image or signal processing research projects or written papers, but that is not critical at all.

Unless there is a better, more predictable way to improve your profile given your time constraints, you have nothing to lose except time and the exam fee since you don't have to have the scores automatically reported.
Another, far more expensive way to improve your profile could be to take one or two graduate-level distance learning courses, e.g.
UF College of Engineering: UFEDGE
(The cost for non-Florida residents is $600 per credit hour.)
Most MS programs will allow one to transfer in 6-9 graduate credits from another accredited U.S. institution, at least if you take them after getting your BS.
