GRE
Graduate Record Examination or the GRE, is a nation-wide test undergraduates take in order to get into graduate school in the United States. In some ways, it is similar to the Scholastic Aptitude Test (or SAT, both are administered by the Educational Testing Service) but for a different level of education. In the past few years has become computer-based, unlike the SAT. The general test has sections for reading, writing, and math; it previously had an Analytic section, much like logic puzzles. Subject tests typically have 100 multiple choice questions that must be answered in 60 minutes.While the subject tests are held at many undergraduate institutions, the general test is only held at test centers (due to the computer-based format). Students in major cities in the US will usually find a test center easily accessible, while more rural areas will require a drive of a few hours to an urban location. Many industrialized countries also have test centers, but not all do and at times test-takers must cross country borders.
