What is GRE?
A standardized test, the Graduate Record Examination(GRE) measures the Verbal, Mathematical and Analytical Writing skills of students aspiring to undergo their Graduate studies abroad. The test intends to aid Graduate Schools in assessing applicant’s potential 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 340. 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 that they desire.
The GRE can be taken 5 times a year, and the duration between 2 attempts has to be atleast 21 days.
GRE is a Section adaptive test.
- This means the computer selects the second operational section of a measure based on your performance on the first section. Within each section, all questions contribute equally to the final score
- For each of the two measures, a raw score is computed. The raw score is the number of questions you answered correctly
- The raw score is converted to a scaled score through a process known as equating.
