Graduate Record Examination

The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is a standardized test commonly used for graduate school admissions. It assesses skills in verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and analytical writing, providing graduate programs with a measure of an applicant’s academic abilities. The GRE helps admissions committees compare candidates from diverse educational backgrounds fairly. The test is typically taken online and scores are valid for several years. It is one of several factors considered in the application process, alongside grades, recommendation letters, and work experience. Overall, the GRE serves as an evaluative tool to predict a student’s potential for graduate-level success.
