Graduate Record Examinations

The Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) is a standardized test used primarily for graduate school admissions in the United States and other countries. It assesses verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and analytical writing skills that are important for success in graduate programs. The GRE helps admissions committees compare applicants from diverse educational backgrounds by providing a common measure of aptitude. It consists of multiple-choice questions, problem-solving tasks, and essay prompts, and is usually taken on a computer at designated testing centers. Performing well can strengthen an applicant’s credentials and improve their chances of acceptance into competitive graduate programs.
