Test Purpose
GRE is considered an aptitude rather than an achievement test (which measures knowledge attained during a specific course). The GRE is not designed to measure intelligence, creativity, motivation and social worth. Moreover:
- GRE test scores are one factor among many that should be taken into account in admissions and fellowship decisions.
|
|
|
- The particular strengths of GRE test scores as a part of the application packet lie in their focus on developed reasoning skills, their comparability across all applicants, and (of special relevance for returning students) their recentness.
|
|
- GRE test scores improve the predictive capacity of other information such as undergraduate grade point averages, letters of recommendation, application essays, and other writing submissions. Each of these elements of the standard application packet contains valuable information, but each measures different traits of the applicant and does so with different operational strengths and weaknesses.
- As graduate school applicant populations become more and more diverse in culture, educational background, and recentness of undergraduate training, GRE test scores are likely to become an increasingly important component of the application packet.
