Graduate Records Examinations (GRE)

Most universities that require the GRE for admission, require the General Test. The General Test measures verbal, quantitative, and analytical skills that have been acquired over a long period of time and that are not related to any specific field of study.

Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT)

The GMAT is used to assess the qualifications of applicants for advanced study in business and management and is required by most graduate schools in business and management. It measures general verbal, mathematical, and analytical writing skills that are developed over a long period of time and are associated with success in the first year of study. The GMAT does not presuppose any specific knowledge of business nor does it measure achievement in any particular subject area. It consists of questions in verbal and quantitative and two analytical writing topics. The test is computer-adaptive and is administered by the Prometric Testing Center.

Medical College Admission Test (MCAT)

The MCAT is a test to help admission committees predict how successful their applicants will be in medical school. In addition, the MCAT can be used to help applicants who are not accepted to medical school determine the academic areas in which they may need further study. The extent to which test results are used in admission decisions varies from one medical school to another.
