Why GRE Important

GRE® is the most comprehensive test of a candidate’s abstract and thinking skills. Because of this GRE® scores have great significance in admissions to US Universities and has a great impact on how a candidate is viewed and selected to pursue his Master’s and Doctoral studies in USA.

GRE®, being a general test taken by students all over the world to get admissions into US Universities, it gives an honest view of candidate’s competency, IQ, level of motivation and ability to consistently perform well, to study further irrespective of varied educational backgrounds from different countries and areas of study.

Since the grading system differs in different countries, the GRE® score can sometimes be the one or only deciding factor for colleges to make their choice.

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.”
