GRE (Graduate Record Examination)

The GRE (Graduate Record Examination) is a standardized test used by many graduate schools to assess applicants' overall readiness for advanced study. It measures skills in verbal reasoning (comprehending and analyzing written material), quantitative reasoning (basic math and problem-solving), and analytical writing (expressing ideas clearly and effectively). The test helps admissions committees compare applicants' abilities across different backgrounds and programs. Typically, the GRE is taken as part of the application process for master's and doctoral programs, providing a common benchmark for evaluating academic potential beyond undergraduate grades.
