Graduate Record Examination in the United States.

GRE, the full name of Graduate Record Examination, is called American Graduate Entrance Examination in Chinese, which is applicable to all majors except law and business, and sponsored by educational testing service (ETS). GRE is an examination result required by all kinds of graduate schools in universities all over the world (except management schools and law schools), and it is also the most important criterion for professors to award scholarships to applicants. GRE was first jointly organized by Harvard, Yale, Columbia and Princeton University in the United States. It was originally undertaken by Carnegie Foundation and handed over from 1948 to the newly established education examination center ETS. Since then, it has been held in many parts of the world every year. China Foreign Examination Coordination Office is responsible for the centralized management and undertaking of foreign examinations such as GRE in China.

At this time, if you can provide special GRE scores, it is very beneficial to apply for scholarships. Therefore, if the applicant has enough time, he might as well take a special exam.
