The Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) is a standardized test that is an admissions requirement for many graduate schools in the United States. In other English-speaking countries and for English-taught graduate and business programs worldwide. Created and administered by Educational Testing Service (ETS) in 1949. The exam aims to measure verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, analytical writing and critical thinking skills that have been acquired over a long period of time and that are not related to any specific field of study. The GRE General Test is offered as a computer-based, computer adaptive exam administered by selected qualified testing centers; however, paper-based exams are offered in areas of the world where computer-based testing is not available.
