What is GRE?

The GRE is a standardized test that assesses your skills in Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, and Analytical Writing. The GRE is primarily required for graduate school admissions in many fields, including engineering, sciences, humanities, and business (for certain MBA programs).

The GRE is accepted by universities around the world, especially in North America, Europe, Asia

1. United States
  • TheUSA is the primary country where the GRE is widely accepted, with graduate programs in most universities requiring GRE scores for admissions

    • The GRE General Test assesses your proficiency in three main areas: Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, and Analytical Writing

      1. Verbal Reasoning (40 Questions, 60 Minutes)

        Purpose:Measures the ability to analyze and evaluate written material, understand the meanings of words and sentences, and apply reasoning skills.

        Skills Assessed:Understanding of vocabulary, sentence structure, and the ability to evaluate arguments.

      2. Quantitative Reasoning (40 Questions, 70 Minutes)

        Purpose:Measures mathematical reasoning and problem-solving abilities.

        Skills Assessed:Arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and data analysis.

      Format:Some questions allow the use of a calculator, but others don’t.

      3. Analytical Writing (2 Tasks, 60 Minutes)

        Purpose:Measures the ability to articulate complex ideas clearly and effectively, with appropriate examples and logical structure.

        Task:

      • Issue Task:Write an essay based on a given issue or topic.
      • Argument Task:Critique a given argument, evaluating its reasoning and evidence.

      Optional Sections:

        Research Section:This is an unscored research section that may be included in your test. It does not count toward your score but helps ETS gather data for future versions of the test.

        Total Duration: The GRE General Test takes about 3 hours and 45 minutes (including breaks)

      • Verbal Reasoning: T130–170, in 1-point increments.
      • Quantitative Reasoning: 130–170, in 1-point increments.
      • Analytical Writing:0–6, in half-point increments.

        • Total Score: The combined score for the Verbal and Quantitative sections ranges from 260 to 340.

        Score Range:0–6, in half-point increments.

        • Above 320:Excellent score (generally competitive for top programs).
        • 300–319:Good score (acceptable for many graduate programs).
        • Below 300:Below average (may be considered weak for competitive programs).

    • 1. Understand the Test Format: Familiarize yourself with the test format, question types, and timing for each section.
    • 2. Practice with Official Materials: ETS offers official GRE prep materials and practice tests to simulate real exam conditions.
