What is the GRE Exam?

The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is a section-adaptive digital entrance test administered by ETS. It is required for postgraduate admissions, including master's, PhD, and business school degrees.

The GRE was updated to a shorter format in late 2023. The test evaluates critical thinking, analytical writing, verbal reasoning, and quantitative reasoning skills.
