What are the GRE General and GRE Subject Tests?
The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) General Test is a 2.5 hour, multiple choice aptitude test. The test assesses verbal reasoning, analytical writing and quantitative ability and is required by the majority of graduate schools for arts and science subjects. Some universities also require a subject test to be taken in your proposed area of study, e.g. literature, computer science, etc. For more information please see www.gre.com. The GRE general test is only available in Japan on computer. The computer-based test is adaptive, which means that test takers will receive weighted, harder or easier questions depending upon how they are performing on the test. Plan to be at the centre for up to four and a half hours. For further information, Please see International Computer-based Testing Center List. GRE subject tests are only available as paper-based tests three times a year in November, December and April. For further information, see GRE Subject Tests Overview.
