GRE
The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is a multiple choice admission test intended for applicants to graduate schools. The GRE includes verbal ability question, math ability question and essays to evaluate your analytical abilities. All questions on GRE apart from the essays are Multiple Choice Items. GRE is a Computer Adaptive Test, which means that it’s a test taken on the computer where the level of the question adjusts according to your mental abilities.
Why GRE
Students aspiring to obtain a graduate degree from a University in America need to take this test. About 300 to 500 graduate programs across 3500 Universities in the United States of America use GRE scores. The GRE tests the general abilities in Mathematics and English that a grad school aspirant should have. The GRE does not measure subjective factors important to academic and career success — such as motivation, creativity, interpersonal skills, study skills, or overall success on the job.How Does GRE Work
The GRE is a computerized test that adapts to your performance. This format is called a CAT (computer-adaptive test). As you take the test, the computer will select questions based on your performance. If you get a question correct, the test may select a more difficult one next. If you get a question wrong, the computer may select an easier one next. Thus, the test adapts to your performance. The score you get also adjusts accordingly in the sense that the tougher your questions get, the higher you score.Each computer-based test section meets pre-established specifications, including the types of questions asked and the subject matter presented. The statistical characteristics of the questions answered correctly and incorrectly, including their difficulty levels, are taken into account in the calculation of scores. Therefore, scores of all test takers can be compared even though they received different questions.
