GRE
The GRE® General Test measures verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, critical thinking, and analytical writing skills that have been acquired over a long period of time and that are not related to any specific field of study. The GRE® Subject Tests gauge undergraduate achievement in eight specific fields of study.
GRE verbal and quantitative scores and undergraduate grade point average were evaluated as predictors of multiple measures of long-term graduate school success.
The GRE General Test measures critical thinking, analytical writing, verbal reasoning, and quantitative reasoning skills that have been acquired over a long period of time and that are not related to any specific field of study.
Analytical Writing - The skills measured include the test taker's ability to
* articulate complex ideas clearly and effectively

Who Takes GRE and Why?
Prospective graduate applicants take the General Test. GRE test scores are used by admissions or fellowship panels to supplement undergraduate records and other qualifications for graduate study. The scores provide common measures for comparing the qualifications of applicants and aid in evaluating grades and recommendations.
The Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) are the tests taken by individuals who aspire to go to graduate schools of USA Universities, to pursue Masters or Doctorate in the Sciences or Humanities area of study. GRE is administered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS). The GRE is only one of the many and yet an important criterion required by graduate schools to measure an individuals application. The examination is intended to measure the skills that one has obtained during high school and in college.

Over all Test Tactics
- Learn the section directions now. Use the time saved during the test to work on questions.
Be especially careful in the first portion of every section. Successful answers to the earliest questions will lead to higher scores. - You can write on the scratch paper provided. You can also remember to bring some extra scratch paper. Use the process of elimination to cross out wrong answers; do scratch work.
- Easy questions usually precede hard ones.
- Double check your work and answer before you click on the screen bubble. You cannot skip any question and you cannot go back after you've answered a question.
- Answer every question, making educated guesses if you have to. Just try to eliminate one or more choices before guessing.
- Don't spend too much time on any one question. You should spend only seconds on the easiest questions, and hesitate to spend more than 1-2 minutes on even the hardest ones.
- Bring a watch to the test center. You can't be guaranteed that there'll be a working clock there.
Don't bring a calculator since you're not allowed to use one. - Bring a couple of IDs to the test center. Make sure at least one of the pictures actually looks like you. Also bring any authorization voucher you may have received from the Educational Testing Service.
- Read the words in the question carefully. Be sure to answer the question asked and not the question you recall from a practice test.
Know the Question Types to Expect on the GRE: * analogies * sentence completion * reading comprehension * math multiple-choices * quantitative comparison
