Types of GRE Tests

As mentioned above, GRE is administered in two ways. The first is the GRE General Test designed for students intending to pursue Master’s, doctorate, Juris Doctor (law), and MBA programs. There is also the GRE General Subject Test which you can take if you intend to specialise in specific subjects, including Maths, English Literature, Psychology, Physics, Biology, and Chemistry.

GRE General Test

Unlike most competitive tests where you have to answer all questions in serial order, the GRE General test is perhaps the only competitive level test that allows candidates to skip questions within sections and go back and change answers. It allows you to control the test and answer questions in sections where you feel you can score better. It largely analyses three crucial skills:

1. Verbal Reasoning: This section measures your ability to analyse and infer from discourse, understand literal and figurative meanings and the author’s intent, and reason from incomplete data. It also assesses how well you can summarise texts, understand words and their meanings, and relationships between words and concepts.
2. Quantitative Reasoning: This section measures how well you can comprehend, interpret and analyse quantitative information, including solving mathematical problems and applying basic arithmetic concepts.
3. Analytical Writing: This section gauges your ability to critically analyse, articulate and support complex ideas in words. It checks your ability to reason and provide examples and accompanying evidence in the written form.

As a student appearing for the GRE General Test, you get to decide the score you wish to send to the schools you intend to attend. An optional aspect of the GRE exam fee includes retaking the test (by registering for it again). You can retake the test and send only those scores you want to your prospective schools. All of this is a part of the ScoreSelect^®option, which is only available for GRE candidates.
