ETS, the company that administers the GRE General Test, recently put out a 3-page report titled “Four Facts About the GRE General Test” that explores how the exam serves as a predictor of graduate school success and why it should be part of a holistic admissions process for schools.
Specifically, the report looks at:
- how the GRE General Test successfully measures an applicant’s readiness
- using GRE General Test scores to support holistic admissions processes
- how the GRE General Test can be used to help your program achieve its diversity goals
- the objective lens the GRE General Test provides to create equal opportunity for everyone
