It serves as a standardized assessment of a candidate’s academic readiness for graduate school, assessing verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, critical thinking, and analytical writing
The GRE serves as a tool to evaluate candidates’ preparedness for graduate studies and their academic capabilities. Graduate schools utilize GRE scores for candidate comparison, though the importance of these scores varies among programs. Some programs do not necessitate GRE scores, while others make them a compulsory component of the application process.
