What is the GRE test?

The GRE Test, or Graduate Record Examinations, is a standardized test that is commonly required for admission to graduate schools in the United States and other countries. It assesses a candidate’s verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, critical thinking, and analytical writing skills. The test is designed to measure skills that are important for success in graduate and business school programs. The GRE is administered by Educational Testing Service (ETS) and is available in both computer-based and paper-based formats. Scores are used by admissions committees to evaluate applicants’ readiness for advanced academic study.
