GRE

Most graduate schools in English speaking countries require their prospective students to take GRE. The examination gauges your verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, critical thinking, and analytical writing skills that are not related to any specific field of study.

The test is offered all round the year. Any accredited graduate, business or professional school may require that its applicants take the GRE General Test.

The test is conducted all round the year from Monday to Friday, twice a day. September to December is the time of the year when most of the students register for the test. Students who wish to take the test during this period should contact the chosen test centre (two to three months in advance) for registration.
