Graduate Record Examination (GRE)

The GRE, or Graduate Record Examinations, is a standardized test that is widely required for admission to graduate programs in the United States and other English-speaking countries. The GRE is administered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS).
The GRE General Test is a computer-based test that measures your verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and analytical writing skills. The test is divided into three sections:

⚫ Analytical Writing: This section assesses your ability to analyze a topic and articulate your thoughts in writing. You will be required to write two essays: one on an issue and one on an argument.
⚫ Verbal Reasoning: This section measures your ability to read, comprehend, and analyze written material. You will be asked to answer questions about reading passages, sentence equivalence, and text completion.
⚫ Quantitative Reasoning: This section measures your basic mathematical skills and your ability to solve problems that involve quantitative reasoning. You will be asked to answer questions about arithmetic, algebra, geometry, data analysis, and statistics.

The GRE General Test is scored on a scale of 260 to 340, with 130 to 170 for each of the Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning sections and 0 to 6 for the Analytical Writing section.

⚫ Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology
⚫ Biology
⚫ Chemistry
⚫ Literature in English
⚫ Mathematics

The GRE Subject Tests are scored on a scale of 200 to 990.
