What Is The Graduate Record Examination (GRE)?

The graduate record examination (GRE) is a structural exam used in the fields of academic learning, arithmetic, and vocabulary to assess one's aptitude for abstract thought. The GRE is widely used by both US and Canadian graduate schools to assert the eligibility of a candidate for the program. The GRE is taken via computer; however, a paper-based analysis can be performed in areas that lack the required computer networks.

Understanding The Graduate Record
Examination (GRE)


The verbal reasoning section analyses the test taker's ability to conclude, identify key and minor points, grasp terms, and sentences. It is planned to assess the test taker's ability to interpret and judge written content. This section also assesses their ability to process the information that they gather from written material, to see and analyze relationships between different parts of sentences.
In the quantitative section, the skill of the test taker to solve the problems evaluated by using math, data analysis, and algebra principles. Mathematical problems must be addressed by the understanding and analysis of test-takers and quantitative results.
The final section, analytical writing, tests the ability of the test taker to critical reasoning, and write analytically. In specific, it is being evaluated how effectively they can express abstract theories and offer meaningful guidance to those principles.

 The GRE General Examination is commonly used to review candidates by the graduate and business schools. Some schools may ask students to take GRE Subject Tests which will assess their expertise in unique study areas. These fields can include physics, psychology, genetics, English-language literature, and chemistry. GRE Content Research areas of interest are not necessarily static; assessments on subjects such as computer science and biochemistry have been withdrawn, but the results from studies historically conducted remain reportable.

 The GRE does assess the language abilities of a test taker as opposed to the GMAT which is more based on quantitative ability. Many business schools consider the GRE as an entry test for their MBA courses, including the best business schools in the US.
