What Is the GRE?

The GRE General Test is the world's most widely accepted graduate admissions exam, used by thousands of graduate and business programs across more than 160 countries.

It tests Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, and Analytical Writing — each scored independently — giving programs a standardised measure of graduate readiness.
