GRE Test
The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is a standardized test used by many U.S. universities to assess readiness for graduate-level study. It’s most commonly required for Master’s and some PhD programs, especially in fields like engineering, business, computer science, and social sciences.
The GRE measures verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and analytical writing skills — not specific subject knowledge.
Who Needs the GRE?
You may need the GRE if:
- You're applying to a graduate program (especially STEM, business, or social science)
- The university or program requires or recommends it
- You're applying for competitive or top-tier schools that still use GRE scores in admissions
