The full form of GRE is Graduate Record Examinations, and Educational Testing Service (ETS) conducts it. It is accepted by many graduate and business schools worldwide and is a standardized computer-based exam with multiple-choice questions. The GRE provides grad and b-schools with one common criterion that can be used to compare all applicants, who come from all over the world and will certainly have an enormous range in academic and professional experience.

 

There are three GRE sections: Verbal, Quantitative (math), and Analytical Writing. The GRE tests college-level vocabulary and verbal reasoning; basic math concepts in arithmetic, algebra, and geometry; and your writing and analytical skills. GRE test-takers will receive three separate scores, one for each section. Math and Verbal GRE scores fall on a scale of 130–170. Analytical Writing scores range from 0–6. Some test-takers will also see additional experimental math or verbal section, which will not be included in the final score. Learn more about GRE scoring.
