The Graduate Record Examination (\u201cGRE\u201d)<\/strong> is required by many graduate programs in the U.S. The publisher, Educational Testing Services<\/a> (\u201cETS\u201d), has an informative website that provides: general information, test registration, and test preparation materials.<\/p>\n

Test registration<\/a> costs $220 in the United States, with a possibility for a fee reduction (scroll to the bottom of the test registration page).<\/p>\n

NOTE: A GRE Fee Reduction Voucher may be used for one GRE General Test and\/or one GRE Subject Test. Individuals who receive a GRE Fee Reduction voucher will pay $100 to register for the GRE General Test and\/or 50% of the regular test fee for a GRE Subject Test (i.e., $75). Those registering for the General Test will also receive free access to several GRE test prep materials.<\/em> Please review the eligibility requirements and consult with Student Financial Services<\/a> to complete a GRE Fee Reduction Voucher Request Form<\/a>. BE AWARE: It can take several weeks after submitting your request form and supporting materials to ETS before receiving your fee reduction voucher. DO NOT wait until the last minute — submit as early as possible.<\/p>\n

The GRE is a computer-based test with sections measuring Verbal and Quantitative Reasoning and Analytical Writing.<\/p>\n

NOTE: As of September 2023, the GRE will be significantly shorter. Click here<\/a> for details.<\/strong><\/p>\n
