Unlocking Opportunities for Higher Education Abroad
Introduction to GRE
The GRE, or Graduate Record Examination, is a comprehensive test evaluating a student’s analytical writing, mathematical, verbal reasoning, critical thinking, and vocabulary skills. Widely accepted by foreign universities, especially in countries like the USA, Canada, and Singapore, the GRE serves as a crucial gateway for postgraduate program eligibility. Notably, many business schools also accept GRE scores, which can be converted to equivalent GMAT scores, the generally accepted score for management courses.

How to Excel in GRE
Cracking the GRE demands a focused approach and expert guidance. Empower Overseas, a leading institution for GRE training in Mumbai, offers precisely that. The GRE, considered more manageable than the GMAT, requires strategic preparation for success. Here are some tips to crack the GRE:
Devote 2-3 hours daily for two months, coupled with practice using standard study materials, to achieve a score of 310+.
Acquire a high-level vocabulary, a crucial aspect of the GRE. Reading English newspapers regularly and employing root-word and synonym-antonym pair techniques can enhance vocabulary.
With limited time for each question, practice under test conditions and keep track of time to overcome time constraints.
Utilize the multiple-choice format to your advantage, making informed guesses when needed, as there is no penalty for guessing.
Implement strategies to reduce GRE stress during preparation to ensure confidence on exam day.
