The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is a standardized test used for admissions to various graduate schools and business programs worldwide. It assesses verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, critical thinking, and analytical writing skills.
The GRE is computer-based and adaptive by section, meaning the difficulty of the second section is based on performance in the first. Scores range from 130 to 170 for Verbal and Quantitative sections, and 0 to 6 for Analytical Writing.
Preparation involves studying vocabulary, practicing math concepts, and writing essays. Resources include official guides, practice tests, prep courses, and study books. The GRE is crucial for applicants to various graduate programs, providing a common measure to compare academic readiness and potential.
