Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between GRE General Test and GRE Subject Tests?
The GRE General Test measures verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and analytical writing skills applicable to all graduate programs. GRE Subject Tests (offered in specific subjects like Physics, Mathematics, Psychology) test knowledge in particular fields and are required by some specialized programs. Our course focuses on the GRE General Test.
How is the GRE different from the GMAT?
The GRE is accepted by most graduate programs including many MBA programs, while GMAT is specifically designed for business schools. The GRE has a stronger vocabulary component and separate scoring for each section. Many business schools now accept both tests - we can help you decide which is best for your goals.
Can I use a calculator on the GRE?
Yes, an on-screen calculator is available for the Quantitative Reasoning sections only. However, many problems are designed to be solved more efficiently without it. Our course teaches you when and how to use the calculator effectively.
How many times can I take the GRE?
You can take the GRE once every 21 days, up to 5 times within any continuous 12-month period. Most students take it 1-2 times. We recommend thorough preparation to achieve your target score on the first or second attempt.
Do schools see all my GRE scores?
With ScoreSelect, you can choose which test scores to send to schools. You can send scores from your most recent test, all tests, or selected tests from the past 5 years. However, check individual program requirements as some may want to see all scores.
What GRE score do I need?
Target scores vary by program and field. Competitive programs typically look for 310-320+ combined scores, with specific expectations varying by discipline. We'll help you research score requirements for your target programs and set realistic goals.
How long should I study for the GRE?
Most students benefit from 2-4 months of structured preparation. Students needing significant score improvements (20+ points) may need 3-4 months. Working professionals often prefer 3-4 months with weekend classes to balance preparation with other commitments.
How much does the GRE cost?
The GRE General Test costs $220 USD worldwide (as of 2026). Given this investment, proper preparation through our courses helps you achieve your target score efficiently, avoiding costly retakes.
