The GRE is ideal for anyone pursuing graduate programs, including Master’s, MBA, or Ph.D., in disciplines such as engineering, business, humanities, or sciences. It is accepted by thousands of universities and colleges worldwide.

The GRE includes three sections:

• Verbal Reasoning: Tests reading comprehension, vocabulary, and critical reasoning.
• Quantitative Reasoning: Assesses problem-solving using arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and data analysis.
• Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA): Measures the ability to articulate and support ideas in a clear, well-structured manner.

• Verbal and Quantitative sections are scored on a scale of 130-170 each, in 1-point increments.
• AWA is scored separately on a scale of 0-6, in half-point increments.
• The combined Verbal and Quantitative score forms the primary score most programs consider.

A good GRE score depends on your target program and school. Generally, scores above 310 (combined) are competitive for most graduate programs, while top-tier schools may require 320 or higher.

The GRE is approximately 3 hours and 45 minutes long, including a 10-minute break after the third section.

The General Test evaluates overall aptitude in verbal, quantitative, and writing skills, while Subject Tests focus on specific fields like Math, Physics, Chemistry, or Psychology. Subject Tests are typically required for specialized graduate programs.

Yes, ETS offers an at-home version of the GRE. It includes the same format, content, and scoring as the test taken at a physical test center but is conducted under online proctoring.

Begin with a diagnostic test to evaluate your strengths and weaknesses. Based on the results, create a study plan that includes practice tests, time management strategies, and focused preparation for weaker areas.

While self-study can work for some, coaching offers structured guidance, expert advice, and proven strategies to enhance performance. It’s especially beneficial if you’re aiming for a top score or have limited time.

Preparation typically ranges from 2-4 months, depending on your current skill level and the time you can dedicate each day. Intense preparation may shorten this timeline.

We provide access to expertly curated study materials, practice questions, full-length mock tests, vocabulary resources, and detailed feedback to improve your performance in each section.

• Divide your time based on the number of questions in each section.
• Skip challenging questions initially and return to them later if time permits.
• Use the timer effectively and avoid distractions.

Yes, the GRE allows you to skip questions and return to them within a section. This flexibility helps you focus on easier questions first, maximizing your score.

The AWA involves writing two essays:

• Issue Task: Analyze and present your viewpoint on a given topic.
• Argument Task: Critique the logic and evidence in an argument.
• Both tasks assess critical thinking, clarity, and coherence in writing.

• Use flashcards or apps like Quizlet to memorize words and their meanings.
• Read academic articles, journals, and challenging texts to learn words in context.
• Practice writing essays and sentences using new words to reinforce their usage.

The Quantitative section focuses on high-school-level math concepts. However, the challenge lies in solving problems under time constraints and applying concepts creatively.

• Review fundamental math topics like algebra, geometry, and statistics.
• Practice solving problems quickly and accurately.
• Take mock tests to familiarize yourself with the question formats and time pressure.

• Strengthen your vocabulary with targeted word lists.
• Practice reading complex passages and identifying key ideas.
• Work on text completion and sentence equivalence questions to improve contextual understanding.

You can send your scores to four universities for free on the test day. Additional score reports can be sent later for a fee.

If you fall short of your desired score, analyze your performance, identify weak areas, and revise your preparation plan. Retake the test after sufficient practice.

While both tests are used for graduate admissions, the GRE is broader in focus, covering a wide range of disciplines, while the GMAT is specialized for business school applications.

Many business schools now accept both GRE and GMAT scores. Choose based on your strengths - quantitative-focused individuals may prefer the GMAT, while GRE may suit those with stronger verbal skills.
