Book a Free ConsultationThe GRE General Test is developed and administered by ETS (Educational Testing Service). It measures verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and analytical writing. The shorter format introduced in September 2023 runs under 2 hours and is accepted by thousands of graduate, business, and law schools worldwide.
Students and professionals applying to master's, PhD, MBA, or law programmes — particularly those who want flexibility across disciplines and geographies.
One "Analyse an Issue" essay. You take a position on a topic and support it with reasoning and examples. Scored 0–6 in half-point increments by a human rater plus the ETS e-rater engine.
2 sections, 27 questions total. Reading Comprehension, Text Completion, and Sentence Equivalence. Second section adapts to your performance on the first.
2 sections, 27 questions total. Arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and data analysis. An on-screen calculator is available throughout. Section adaptive like Verbal.
Within each section you may skip questions, mark them for review, and change answers before time runs out. No separate experimental "unscored" section in the shorter test.
Verbal and Quantitative Reasoning are each scored 130–170 in 1-point increments, giving a combined total of 260–340. Analytical Writing is scored separately from 0 to 6. Verbal and Quant are section-adaptive: your performance on the first section of each measure determines the difficulty of the second.
You decide which test-date scores to send. Universities never see GRE scores from dates you haven't released. Useful if you take the test more than once and want only your best attempt on the report.
Up to 5 times in any rolling 12-month period, with a 21-day gap between attempts. Both test centre and the GRE Test at Home count toward this limit.
Yes — the GRE General Test at Home is treated the same as the test centre version by accepting institutions. It uses live human proctoring through ProctorU.
Five years from the test date. Most programmes will accept scores at the upper end of that window without issue.
It matters most for humanities, social sciences, and law admissions. For STEM and business programmes, a 4.0 or above is usually sufficient, with Verbal and Quant carrying greater weight.
Test fees, formats, and accepting institutions are updated by the official conducting bodies. We've drawn the figures on this page from these official sources — always confirm the current details before booking your test.
