Hey guys, I just recently took my GRE General...and it was alright, not exactly 99% that everyone aims for. Because I will be graduating in 2009 and want to enroll into a graduate program Sept 2009, i have very limited time to either retake the GRE General or to try my hand at GRE Biology. Is it better to get a better score in general test or having a Subject score? Would 2 months be enough time to prepare for GRE Biology and how would i go about preparing for it? (seeing that it covers such a wide variety of biological subjects)

Also, it seems that there is a lack of a Biology subcategory...is everyone simply taking Biochem/Cell/Mol. Bio instead of Bio???

P.S. I'd be really grateful to hear any suggestions/comments/and recommendations on how to prep for the subject test. Thanks guys!
