Test Overview

The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) General Test is designed to provide US graduate schools with a common measure for comparing their applicants’ qualifications. The exam does not test specific subject knowledge and instead measures quantitative, verbal and analytical writing skills. You will be required to take the GRE if you wish to go on to graduate (post-graduate) study in the US.

Test Scores

Each of the three sections on the GRE is scored separately. You will be given a "scaled score" within a range of 130-170 for both the quantitative and verbal sections in 1 point increments. You will also receive a score on a scale of 0 to 6 for the writing section in .5 point increments.

A percentile rank will be given in addition to scaled scores. Your performance will be calculated relative to those of a large sample population of other GRE takers, giving you a percentile rank. This means that if you scored higher than 60% of GRE test takers you scored in the 60th percentile.

Register for the Test

As the GRE is a computerized test it is available throughout the year.

You register for the GRE with the Educational Testing Service (ETS). The most convenient way to find a testing center and register is online at www.gre.org.

If you plan on taking the test in August and September 2011 there is a 50% reduction fee.

Currently the cost to take the exam in the US $160. To take the exam outside the US the cost is $170. ETS takes most major credit cards.
