What it tests
Three sections, one test
The GRE General Test measures graduate-level reasoning skills, not English proficiency — it is taken alongside, not instead of, IELTS / PTE / TOEFL where those are also required.
Verbal Reasoning
Two sections testing reading comprehension, vocabulary in context and how ideas relate to each other.
Quantitative Reasoning
Two sections covering arithmetic, algebra, geometry and data analysis — an on-screen calculator is provided.

FAQ
GRE questions
Do I need the GRE if I am applying to the UK, Canada or Australia?
Not usually — most taught Master’s programmes there do not ask for it. Some specific courses, especially in business, engineering and other STEM subjects, do ask for a GRE score, so we check the requirement for each university on your shortlist before you decide whether to take it.
How long does GRE preparation take?
It depends on your starting comfort with the Verbal and Quant content and the score you are aiming for. Many students prepare over a few months alongside their other test and application work — the earlier you start, the less rushed it feels.
What GRE score do I need?
It varies by university, course and even department, and some programmes do not set a fixed minimum at all. Once we shortlist your courses, we tell you what each one typically expects, so you have a clear target to prepare for.
Is the GRE the same as the GMAT?
No — they are different tests, though many business schools now accept either. If you are applying to MBA or other business programmes, we help you work out which one fits your target universities better.
