About the GRE Tests

Advancing quality and equity

The GRE tests were created more than 70 years ago to provide common measures that would enable graduate applicants to be compared, regardless of their background. The GRE Program’s dedication to fairness exemplifies nonprofit ETS’s mission to help advance quality and equity in education for all people.

Today, thousands of graduate and professional programs around the world use GRE scores as part of their holistic review of applicant strengths.
