A
standardized test, the
Graduate Record Examination
measures Verbal, Mathematical
and Analytical Writing
skills. The test intends
to primarily aid Graduate
Schools (of all fields
other than business) to
assess the potential of
the applicants for advanced
study.
Most universities
in the US, while inviting applications
from prospective students, ask
for GRE® scores.
The
examination is entirely a Computer-based
Test, and no two students get
an identical set of questions.
The test is scored on a maximum
of 1600. The GRE® Score
alone cannot guarantee admission
into a school - the test is
only one of the major factors
taken into consideration in
the long process of an applicant
getting admitted into a graduate
school he/she desires.
