Graduate Record Examinations (GRE)

General Information:

The General Test measures verbal, quantitative, and analytical skills that have acquired over a long period of time and that are not related to any specific field of study.  The verbal measure tests your ability to analyze and evaluate written material and synthesize information obtained from it, analyze relationships among component parts of sentences, and recognize relationships between words and concepts.  The quantitative measure tests your basic mathematical skills and your understanding of elementary mathematical concepts, as well as your ability to reason quantitatively and solve problems in a quantitative setting.  The analytical measure tests your ability to understand structured sets of relationships, deduce new information from sets of relationships, analyze and evaluate arguments, identify central issues and hypothesis, draw sound inferences, and identify plausible casual explanations.
