GRE Essay Topics.

Education (with a great degree of emphasis on college)

“Educational institutions have a responsibility to dissuade students from pursuing fields of study in which they are unlikely to succeed.”
“A nation should require all of its students to study the same national curriculum until they enter college.”
“Governments should offer a free university education to any student who has been admitted to a university but who cannot afford the tuition.”
“Universities should require every student to take a variety of courses outside the student’s field of study.”
I should also note that this seems to be ETS’s favorite category. Can’t say the topic is irrelevant.

Technology and society

“As people rely more and more on technology to solve problems, the ability of humans to think for themselves will surely deteriorate.”
“The increasingly rapid pace of life today causes more problems than it solves.”

Cities (I know this is a pretty random bucket – but it’s what ETS decrees)

“Claim: Governments must ensure that their major cities receive the financial support they need in order to thrive.
Reason: It is primarily in cities that a nation’s cultural traditions are preserved and generated.”

GRE Info

The GRE (Graduate Record Examinations) is a standardized test taken by students who are applying to postgraduate courses in the US and in some other parts of the world. There are actually two GRE examinations:
When one talks of the GRE, one usually means the GRE General Testwhich is a test of verbal and quantitative reasoning skills andanalytical writing. Majortests.com has practice tests for the GRE general test; use the menu on the left to do a test.
Students taking the General test after 1st August 2011 will have to take the Revised GRE General Test. Our site has been fully updated to reflect the changes introduced in the Revised GRE General test.
Unlike the General test, which is unrelated to any specific undergraduate course, the GRE Subject tests are offered in eight specific subject areas and attempt to measure a student�s performance in a subject in which they have majored at undergraduate level.
The GRE is produced by the Educational Testing Service, a US-based non-profit organization. Admissions committees use the scores along with undergraduate records, recommendations and other relevant criteria in evaluating candidates for admission to graduate courses. For some courses GRE is a prerequisite; for others it may be recommended or not required. Always check the requirements of individual institutions before applying.
