The Graduate Record Examinations® (GRE®) Program provides tests, publications, and services that assist graduate schools and departments in graduate admissions activities, guidance and placement, program evaluation, and selection of fellowship recipients. The GRE Program also assists students in their transition to graduate education through a variety of services and publications. Tests offered include:

1. The General Test, which measures developed verbal, quantitative, and analytical abilities.
2. Writing Assessment, which measures proficiency in critical reasoning and analytical writing
3. Subject Tests, which measure achievement in 12 different fields of study.

ETS administers GRE programs on behalf of the Graduate Record Examinations Board, an independent board affiliated with the Association of Graduate Schools and the Council of Graduate Schools, which establishes all policies for the GRE Program.
