GRE:

The GRE (Graduate Record Examination) is a standardized exam that is used by many graduate schools and business schools in the United States and other countries as an admission requirement. The exam is designed to assess the academic abilities and potential of students who are applying to graduate school or business school programs.

The GRE is offered year-round at authorized testing centers around the world, and it is administered on a computer. The exam consists of three sections: verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and analytical writing. The verbal reasoning and quantitative reasoning sections are each scored on a scale of 130-170, and the analytical writing section is scored on a scale of 0-6.

The verbal reasoning section of the GRE measures a student's ability to analyze and evaluate written material, recognize relationships among concepts, and understand and use vocabulary. The quantitative reasoning section measures a student's ability to understand, interpret, and analyze quantitative information and to solve problems using mathematical concepts.

The analytical writing section of the GRE requires students to write two essays: an "analyze an issue" essay and an "analyze an argument" essay. This section measures a student's ability to articulate complex ideas clearly and effectively, support arguments with evidence, and use standard written English.

Students can prepare for the GRE using a variety of resources, including study guides, online courses, and practice tests. The GRE is administered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS), which also provides official study materials and practice tests.
