GRE stands for Graduate Record Examinations. Conducted by the Educational Testing Services (ETS), GRE is a standardized test that is accepted by many schools all over the world.

There are two types of GRE –

  • GRE Standard Test
  • GRE Subject Tests

The GRE Standard Test is taken by prospective graduate as well as business school graduates worldwide that are interested in pursuing either of the following –

  • Master's
  • Specialized master’s in business
  • MBA
  • Juris doctorate (JD)
  • Doctoral degree

GRE scores are generally taken into consideration by fellowships or admissions panel for supplementing the application of a candidate for graduate-level study.

The GRE General Test provides schools a common benchmark for comparing a candidate’s qualifications against others from different parts of the world.

GRE Subject Tests, on the other hand, are achievement tests measuring the knowledge that an applicant has in a particular field of study.

Currently, GRE Subject Tests are available for the following subjects –

  • Literature in English
  • Biology
  • Chemistry
  • Mathematics
  • Psychology
  • Physics

Each of the GRE Subject Tests is for students that have an extensive background in any of the 6 disciplines above-mentioned.

Do keep in mind that while a GRE Subject Test score might not be mandatory for admission to a specific program, the admissions committees involved will consider the scores if submitted.

When you do appear for GRE General Test or GRE Subject Tests, be sure that you plan taking into consideration the total estimated time for your receiving the test scores, delivery of the scores to your selected institutions, and processing by the institution of the scores. Ensure that your scores be reported well in time of your application deadlines.
