GRE

Graduate Record Examination

Introduced and revised on August 1, 2011 the GRE is one of the latest tests to make its mark on the overseas education test field. One of the most widely accepted graduate admission tests in USA and Canada, GRE is designed in such a way that it gives the test takers a friendly and flexible experience. This test is owned and administered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS). Originally established in 1936, the GRE underwent major changes in its format in 2011 where the test shifted from a question by question format to a more flexible section based format. There was also a change in the scoring format where the overall range was brought down to a 130 to 170 scale from the previous 200 to 800 scale.

What is GRE?

The GRE (Graduate Record Examination) is a standardized test used for graduate program admissions. Administered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS), it assesses verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and analytical writing skills. The test consists of sections that evaluate reading comprehension, critical reasoning, mathematical problem-solving, data interpretation, and essay writing. GRE Subject Tests are available for specific subject areas, but they are less commonly required. GRE scores are considered alongside other factors in the admission process. Preparation involves studying the test format, reviewing concepts, practicing questions, and taking sample tests. For the latest information, it is best to consult the official ETS website and individual institutions.

What are the different variants of the GRE exam?

The GRE exam has two main variants: the GRE General Test and the GRE Subject Tests. The GRE General Test assesses verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and analytical writing skills. It is computer-based and adaptive. On the other hand, the GRE Subject Tests focus on specific subjects such as Biology, Chemistry, Literature in English, Mathematics, Physics, and Psychology. However, the Subject Tests are less commonly required. ETS also introduced a take-at-home version of the GRE General Test for remote testing. Remember to check individual program requirements for specific testing preferences.

How is the GRE exam structured?

The GRE exam is structured as the GRE General Test and the GRE Subject Tests. The General Test includes sections for verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and analytical writing. The verbal and quantitative sections are computer-based and adaptive, while the analytical writing section requires essay writing. The Subject Tests focus on specific subjects such as Biology, Chemistry, Literature in English, Mathematics, Physics, and Psychology. The structure and content of the tests vary depending on the subject. For specific details, it is advisable to refer to the official ETS website.

What is the duration of the GRE exam?

The duration of the GRE (Graduate Record Examination) exam varies depending on the specific variant. The GRE General Test takes approximately 3 hours and 45 minutes to complete, with sections for verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and analytical writing. The GRE Subject Tests’ duration varies by subject, typically ranging from 2 to 3 hours. It’s advisable to check the official ETS website or contact the testing center for precise and up-to-date information on exam durations.

How is the GRE exam scored?

The GRE (Graduate Record Examination) exam is scored on different scales depending on the section. The Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning sections of the GRE General Test are scored on a scale of 130 to 170, while the Analytical Writing section is scored on a scale of 0 to 6. The GRE Subject Tests have their own scoring scales, typically ranging from 200 to 990. Percentile rankings are also provided to show how test takers performed relative to others. Specific score requirements may vary by institution, so it’s advisable to check with the programs or institutions you’re interested in for their score expectations.

What is the validity period of the GRE score?

The GRE (Graduate Record Examination) scores are valid for a period of five years. This means that your GRE scores can be used for graduate program applications for up to five years from the date of the exam. After the expiration of the five-year period, the scores are no longer considered valid. It’s important to keep this validity period in mind when planning your graduate school applications and ensuring that your scores are within the acceptable timeframe for the programs you are interested in.
