Every year, from India, thousands of aspirants move to different
countries in pursuit of higher education. They may have to take different tests
to apply to the universities they wish to get admission into.
To pursue a master's programme in engineering/management, these aspirants are
required to take tests like the GRE® test (GRADUATE RECORD
EXAMINATIONS® test) or the GMAT (Graduate Management Admission
Test). Apart from this they may also be required to take TOEFL® iBT
(TEST OF ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGETM).
Of all countries, the most sought after and popular is The United States of
America - The land of unlimited opportunities. Securing admission into a good
university of one's choice for an MS here is certainly not an easy task.

What is a GRE® - CAT (Computer Adaptive Test)?
The GRE® Test is a CAT (Computer Adaptive Test). This means that the
computer adapts the level of the questions to the test-taker's ability.
Initially questions of medium difficulty level are administered to test –
taker. If he / she answers these questions correctly, a more difficult question
is given. Otherwise, an easier question is administered. So, at every stage,
the computer tailors the test to the examinee's level. In this examination, the
score depends both on the number of questions attempted and the number of
correct responses.
