The Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) General Test is taken by individuals applying to graduate programs. Starting from August 2011, the GRE revised General Test replaces the GRE General Test. It is offered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS) of the United States. The Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority (HKEAA) is appointed by the ETS to hold GRE revised General Test in Hong Kong.
The GRE revised General Test is delivered via the internet. It measures skills that have been developed over a long period of time and are not necessarily related to any particular field of study. The test is approximately four and one-half hours long and has three sections:
- Verbal Reasoning - measures your ability to analyze and evaluate written material amd synthesize information obtained from it, analyze relationships among component parts of sentences and recognize relationships among words and concepts.
- Quantitative Reasoning - measures problem-solving ability, focusing on basic concepts of arithmetic, algebra, geometry and data analysis.
- Analytical Writing - measures critical thinking and analytical writing skills, specifically your ability to articulate and support complex ideas clearly and effectively.
