analytical portions of the test are converted to apercentile score to allow for comparison of scores across testing dates.Perceptions of the GREThere have been studies conducted on how students perceive the GRE and whether it is viewedas being a fair test by different social classes and ethical groups. Research conducted by Kliegeret al. in 2017 concluded that for United States citizens, “the average standardized test scores ofWhite and Asian examinees have generally exceeded the average scores of Black and Hispanicexaminees by at least one half to a full standard deviation [5].” This seems to support the claimmade by Groeger in 1998 who indicated that a “sample of 4,248 first-year graduate studentsshowed that 96% of the Black applicants indicated

graduation age is comparable to that of other STEM fields, it is in stark contrastto average graduation ages in fields such as education (38.3) and humanities (34.2), where it ismore common for students to return for a degree after working in the field for several years [8].Though there is limited research on returners at the doctoral level in engineering, research onreturners generally in a number of fields suggests returning students may have distinct strengthsand challenges. In addition to the rich applied work experiences they can bring to their doctoralwork [3], returners may be more mature, goal-oriented, and motivated, and possess strongteamwork skills and a high work ethic [9] - [11]. However, returners can also face challengestransitioning
