Basic overview:

GRE is sponsored by the Educational Testing Service (ETS) It was first jointly organized by Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and Princeton universities in the United States in 1937. It was initially hosted by the Carnegie Foundation, and in 1948 it was handed over to the newly established Educational Testing Center ETS. It is held every year in many places around the world.

GRE is a test score that applicants must have in various graduate schools of American and Canadian universities (except management schools and law schools). It is also the most important criterion that professors base on whether to award scholarships to applicants. .

Some prestigious American universities regard GRE special scores as "recommended scores": that is, they hope that applicants can provide this score, regardless of whether the undergraduate major is the same as the graduate major they are applying for, but they do not regard it as a necessary requirement. At this time, if you can provide special GRE scores, it will be very helpful to apply for scholarship funding. Therefore, if the applicant has sufficient time, he may wish to take the special test. An excellent special GRE score can well reflect the applicant's professional quality and learning potential. The GRE general test is a necessary test for applying for graduate school admissions. LSAT or GMAT can be used instead of the GRE general test when applying for law or business graduate students. Currently, American universities have looser requirements for grade substitution than in the past. Many schools can provide GRE general test or GMAT test scores as the scores that business graduate students should provide. Law graduate students also use GRE general test scores instead of LSAT scores.
