Graduate Record Examination (G.R.E )

Graduate Record Examination (G.R.E )
Individuals applying to graduate schools in order to pursue a Masters in Arts (MA) or Science (MS) need to take the GRE (Graduate Record Examination). GRE test scores provide graduate schools an objective and common measure for evaluating applicants. GRE scores can be used by admissions or fellowship panels to supplement undergraduate records and other qualifications for graduate study. The scores provide common measures for comparing the qualifications of applicants and aid in the evaluation of grades and recommendations.

The GRE General Test
The GRE General Test focuses on the types of skills that have been identified as critical for the success in graduate and business school, such as verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, critical thinking and analytical writing — skills that aren't limited to a specific field of study, but critical to all of them. Backed by substantial research collected over 60 years, the GRE General Test is a proven tool for assessing ability and predicting performance.

The GRE General Test measures verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, critical thinking and analytical writing skills that are not related to any specific field of study. The General Test is offered as a computer-based test in the United States, Canada and many other countries. Administration of the paper-based General Test is offered in areas of the world where computer-based testing is not available.

The test is composed of Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning and Analytical Writing sections. Typical testing times are listed below:
