The Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) is a standardized test accepted by thousands of graduate and business schools worldwide. It consists of three sections: analytical writing, verbal reasoning, and quantitative reasoning. There are several resources available to prepare for the GRE, including test preparation centers, books, sample tests, and free online resources. Effective preparation requires doing homework, practicing vocabulary, improving reading speed and comprehension, and learning test-taking strategies without burning out before the exam.
