The GRE General Test stands for Graduate Record Examination. It thoroughly tests a student's ability in terms of analytical writing, mathematics, verbal reasoning, critical thinking and vocabulary. GRE is the most widely accepted examination by foreign universities to determine a candidate's eligibility for a postgraduate program. Thus, clearing GRE can be considered the gateway to studying in a foreign university. Countries like the USA, Canada and Singapore accept GRE. Apart from graduate schools, many business schools also accept GRE scores and may convert them to equivalent GMAT scores, the generally accepted exam score for management courses.
Cracking the GRE requires a focused and clear-cut approach coupled with the right guidance provided by people who are highly experienced in this field. Imperial Overseas is one such institution that is the top choice for students seeking GRE training in Mumbai.
The GRE Test is typically considered easier to beat compared to GMAT Test (in which the Verbal Part is Grammar, Critical Reasoning, centric and is Question Level Adaptive and hence challenging) because, even though the mathematics portion tested on the GRE is not much tougher than GMAT, the GRE test general English knowledge and understanding skills rather than Grammar. Hence, a score of 145+ is not very challenging in GRE.
What is the Acceptance Rate for GRE Score Ranging from 290 to 300? - It is a question that is often raised by students who are unable to score 310+ in their initial attempts. This is where individual attention to students’ performance and personalized guidance and feedback comes into play. At our GRE preparation in Mumbai, we ask students to give three GRE Mock tests: the first one before training, the second mid-way during training, and the third at the end of training.
Our GRE consultancy in Mumbai, initially, makes them aware of their strengths and weaknesses and gives a study plan. Later we do course correction after the mid-way test. Then, after the third test, we see the extent of learning absorbed and improvement made based on which we advise the TEST Plan. Each student is asked to practice further with their plans and take the 9 remaining tests for getting used to TEST Mode regularly.
Whether a student gets admitted with GRE or without GRE does not affect any University FEE Structure. But students who score high GRE and or TOEFL/IELTS Scores may obtain sizable Scholarships which are quite beneficial.
GRE Eligibility score varies from University to University and Course to Course. From our experience with a broad range of students applying to a large number of universities, it is clear that 310 + is a score that assists in obtaining admission to most Universities whereas some TOP Tier Universities may require a score of 325+ for admission. But other factors of a student’s profile such as GPA, experience, Projects, Internships and Industry Experience also play an important role.
