Re: What Is GRE Test

Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is a standardized test that is an
admissions requirement for most graduate schools in the United States.

It was started from the year 1949.

The exam aims to measure verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning,
analytical writing, and critical thinking skills that have been acquired over a
long period of time and that are not entirely based on any specific field of
study outside of the GRE itself.

The GRE General Test is offered as a computer-based exam administered at
Prometric testing centres.

The cost to take the test is US$205, although ETS will reduce the fee under
certain circumstances.

They also promote financial aid to those GRE applicants who prove economic
hardship.

About 3 hours and 45 minutes (includes 1-minute breaks after each section and a 10-minute break after third section).

Score / grade range
Analytical writing: 0.0 to 6.0 (in 0.5 point increments),
Verbal reasoning: 130 to 170 (in 1 point increments),
Quantitative reasoning: 130 to 170 (in 1 point increments).
