    GRE® General Test

    The GRE General Test measures verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, critical thinking and analytical writing skills-skills that have been developed over a long period of time and are not related to a specific field of study but are important for all. The test closely aligns with the types of skills that are required for success in today's demanding graduate programs, including business and law.

     

    In most regions of the world, the test is administered throughout the year on a computer at Prometric® test centers. The computer-delivered test may also be offered on specific dates at additional testing locations outside of the Prometric test center network. See available test centers and dates for all computer-delivered testing locations.

     

    In areas of the world where the computer-delivered test is not available, a paper-delivered format of the test is administered up to three times a year in October, November, and February. See available test centers and dates for paper-delivered testing locations.

     

    The GRE General Test is composed of Analytical Writing, Verbal Reasoning, and Quantitative Reasoning sections. Testing time is listed below.
