GRE
The GRE (Graduate Record Examination) is one of the accepted entry exams for many business schools. For years, only the GMAT (see GMAT) has been accepted at most business schools, but the GRE General Test is now available as a second option. Not all schools accept the latter though, so students need to make an informed decision if going for the GRE instead of the GMAT test.
In general the GRE features:
Verbal Reasoning — Measures the ability to analyse and evaluate written material and synthesize information obtained from it, analyse relationships among component parts of sentences and recognise relationships among words and concepts.
Quantitative Reasoning — Measures problem-solving ability using basic concepts of arithmetic, algebra, geometry and data analysis.
Analytical Writing — Measures critical thinking and analytical writing skills, specifically the ability to articulate and support complex ideas clearly and effectively.
The GRE General Test provides the ScoreSelect option, which means students can take the test again, and only send schools their best set of scores. They have five years to decide how to use any of their scores.
