Introduction to the GRE Exam
Before discussing the GRE Preparation Course, it is important to understand the GRE exam itself.
The GRE (Graduate Record Examination) is an international standardized test designed to evaluate an individual’s analytical thinking, logical reasoning, and problem-solving abilities. It is widely recognized as a prerequisite for admission to postgraduate (Master’s and PhD) programs at many prestigious universities around the world. Except for medicine and law, most academic disciplines require a strong GRE score for graduate-level admission.
The GRE is offered in two formats:
General Test (GRE General):
This is the most commonly required version for admission to a wide range of academic programs. It is available in both computer-based and paper-based formats and includes the following sections:Analytical Writing: 2 tasks, scored on a scale of 0–6, with a total duration of 1 hour.
Verbal Reasoning: 40 questions, to be completed in 30 minutes, scored between 130–170.
Quantitative Reasoning: Considered by many to be the most challenging section, it contains 40 questions with a time limit of 70 minutes, also scored between 130–170.
The overall GRE General Test score ranges from 260 to 340, and a minimum score of 300–310 is typically required for admission to top universities.
Subject Test (GRE Subject):
This version of the exam is designed for applicants to specific academic fields such as Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Psychology, and English Literature. The GRE Subject Test assesses the candidate’s knowledge of key academic concepts within their chosen field. Scores range from 200 to 990, in 10-point increments. The Subject Test is conducted only in paper-based format, and its content varies depending on the academic discipline.
