GRE General Test

The GRE General Test is a standardized exam used by many graduate schools to assess an applicant’s readiness for advanced study. It evaluates skills in three areas: verbal reasoning (understanding and analyzing written material), quantitative reasoning (solving math problems), and analytical writing (communicating complex ideas clearly). The test helps admissions committees compare candidates' academic abilities objectively. Typically lasting around three hours, it is a key part of the graduate school application process, providing a standardized measure of skills that are important for success in graduate-level programs.
