It’s a computer delivered test conducted by ETS, the same body that conducts the TOEFL. It tests your verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning and analytical writing. Irrespective of your educational background, the GRE acts as a common measure of comparison for universities. A score of 320+ means you’re looking at the top schools. ETS provides free and paid preparation material through their website. You will have to take this for almost all post graduate courses in the USA unless you’re looking at a management degree, in which case the GMAT is the preference. Most universities do accept both.
