GRE Test
The Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) General
Test is a standardized computer adaptive test
(CAT) test that graduate schools use to evaluate
candidates. Over one thousand graduate programs
around the world require applicants to submit GRE
scores in order to be considered for admission.
Many business schools are demanding the GRE test
score rather than the GMAT, especially for
Masters programs such as Financial Engineering.
In addition, the GRE is often used to help
determine whether a student is awarded graduate
fellowships or graduate research or teaching
positions.

THE ANALYTICAL WRITING SECTION
The Analytical Writing section measures a
students ability to critically assess an
argument and effectively communicate ideas in
print. There are two essays on this
section Present Your Perspective on an Issue
(the Issue Task) a test-taker must construct a
persuasive argument outlining his or her
perspective on a statement, issue, policy
position, or course of action. Analyze an
Argument (the Argument Task) a test-taker must
evaluate a particular line of reasoning (e.g.
point out where an argument is strong or weak).
The Argument task does not ask for a test-takers
opinion but for an analysis of the argument.

THE QUANTITATIVE SECTIONS
The Quantitative sections measure a students
ability to solve mathematical problems and
interpret data presented in graphical form. These
sections contain four distinct question
categories Multiple-Choice (select one answer
choice) these questions present a mathematical
problem and require students to select exactly
one correct answer choice from among the five
presented. Multiple-Choice (select one or more
answer choices) these questions present a
mathematical problem that may have more than one
solution among the answer choices students must
select each answer choice that applies. Students
do not receive credit unless they select all and
only those answer choices that are
correct. Numeric Entry students must type the
answer to a mathematical problem into the answer
box provided. Quantitative Comparison students
must select the answer choice that accurately
describes the relationship between the quantity
in column A and the one in column B(A) always
means that the quantity in column A is
greater(B) always means that the quantity in
column B is greater(C) always means that the two
quantities are equal and(D) always means that
there is not enough information to determine
which quantity is greater
