Are you planning to take the GRE test next year? The GRE or the General Exam test has two test formats. The GRE General Test and GRE Subject Test. Both the exams have different syllabus as the test format is different as well. For more specific courses, a Subject Test might be required by the college, as it focuses on judging the candidate’s expertise in specific fields.

The test is organised and administered by Education Testing Services (ETS). GRE is conducted in offline mode three times a year and in online mode throughout the year.

Basically, the GRE is a test taken by students all over the world who are seeking admission into Masters programs in various fields in universities of the US and other countries across the world. It is also available at more than 1,000 centres in more than 160 countries.

This is for testing the knowledge of a specific field and there’s a separate paper for every field and subject. One can take a GRE test for six subjects: Biology; Chemistry; Literature in English; Mathematics; Physics; and Psychology.

The Subject Test is available in a paper format over 3 times a year in September, October and April.

 

  • GRE for Business School

GRE scores are a widely accepted format by thousands of business schools all over the world including Ivy League schools like Harvard Business School, Stanford University, HEC Paris, London Business School, and University of Oxford. GRE General Test assesses candidates on parameters learnt over time, therefore, it is easier to score high on the GRE than on the GMAT. Another great advantage is that the GRE costs less than the GMAT.

 

  • GRE for Law School

Law is and has always been one of the most lucrative careers to pursue. No wonder thousands every year apply for the GRE for Law School. The GRE General Test is used for admission into numerous Law Schools for the JD Programme. Juris Doctor (JD) is an entry professional degree in law. It is basically a postgraduate course and can be used to practise law in the US, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
