You might have just heard of the GRE for the first time, and are wondering exactly what this test is all about. For starters, the GRE, which stands for Graduate Record Examination, is the general test for most grad schools (you can think of it as the SAT for grad school).
The GRE is composed of three sections: Quantitative (AKA math), Verbal, and Analytical Writing (AWA). The GRE is a general test, meaning that it is not subject specific. So even if you are just fresh out of college–or even still in college–the material on the test doesn’t necessarily overlap with anything you’ve learned in the last several years. Rather, the GRE tests your reasoning skills, both with words. Here we provide you the most important topics in GRE and help you to reach the maximum score.
