Graduate schools use the scores that applicants receive on the GRE exam to predict how well they will do in a master's or doctoral-level educational program. Schools typically establish guidelines for acceptable and unacceptable GRE scores.
The GRE exam consists of three sections: quantitative reasoning or mathematics, verbal reasoning and analytical writing.
The GRE exam is typically administered by computer and is offered at independent testing centers throughout the United States. The cost to take the test was $160 in the United States, U.S. territories and Puerto Rico as of March 2010.
The GRE examination requires three hours to complete when taken in computer form. When the test is administered on paper, it requires 3.75 hours.
Approximately 600,000 students take the GRE exam annually, reports Education Testing Service. Around 3,200 schools required or accepted GRE scores as of March 2010.
