Why Now
Taking the GRE® General Test now is the smartest move you can make.
When you're in college, you're learning about the world around you and exploring different choices for your future. But even if you're not sure what you want to do after graduation, taking the GRE® General Test right now — while you're still in college — is a smart move. Why? Because you're naturally in the habit of studying and practicing for tests. And since you're a student, you're already using the verbal, math and writing skills that are measured as part of the GRE General Test.
But there's another reason to take the GRE General Test right now: the economy. The job market has never been more competitive and unemployment is at a 25-year high. But having an advanced degree can help. As of March 2009, there were 30% fewer unemployed advanced degree holders than those with just a bachelor's degree∗.
So taking the GRE General Test now can help you prepare for whatever lies ahead — and give you a head start on your future. Register today.
