Make sure to check whether or not this exam is required on the website of your institution. Students intending to study law, medicine, dentistry, veterinarian sciences, fine arts, or music theory usually won\u2019t have to take the GRE General Test. Students intending to study business or economics are often required to take the GMAT, although a growing number of institutions also accept the GRE. Alongside the GRE General Test, some universities may require you to take a GRE Subject Test.<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>GRE General Test<\/h4>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The GRE General Test is a computer-delivered test that takes about 4 hours to complete. The test is composed of three parts: analytical writing, verbal reasoning and quantitative reasoning.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Analytical writing<br \/>\n<\/em>Two written assignments that measure your ability to think critically, support your claims and communicate complex ideas.<\/li>\n<li><em>Verbal reasoning<\/em><br \/>\nThis section measures your ability to analyze, evaluate and summarize texts in their entirety and understand the relationship between constituents. This part of the test focuses on reading comprehension and consists of questions that measure your ability to understand and draw conclusions from a text.<\/li>\n<li><em>Quantitative reasoning<\/em><br \/>\nThis section measures your ability to apply basic skills and elementary concepts of arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and calculus as well as your ability to solve problems using mathematical models. The test also focuses on data analysis and offers realistic scenarios.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_message message_box_style=&#8221;solid-icon&#8221; style=&#8221;round&#8221; icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fa fa-star-o&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h5>Tip:<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>Once you have completed your exam, you receive your preliminary score on the last two sections. If you are not happy with your results, you can cancel the test. This means that you technically have not completed the exam.

If you decide to accept your score, the ETS will send it to the institution within two weeks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_message][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Registering<\/h4>\n<p>You can register online through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ets.org\/gre\/revised_general\/register\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ETS<\/a>.
