What is the GRE?

The Graduate Record Examination (GRE®) is required for applicants to many graduate-level programs in the United States and at international universities. The GRE is made up of the General Test, composed of verbal, quantitative, and analytical sections, and of Subject Tests on specific academic fields. Some universities require only the General Test while others will request applicants to take Subject Tests related to their planned area of study. The GRE bulletin has additional information on these tests.

Information on the exam content and registration procedures is also available at https://www.ets.org/gre/ .

Where can I take the GRE General Test?

The GRE General Test is currently administered at the Prometric Test Centers at AMIDEAST/Beirut. The GRE is also administered in other countries, either by computer or in a paper-based format.

What is TOEFL^®?

The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) evaluates the English proficiency of people whose native language is not English. Most U.S. universities require that international applicants take the TOEFL.  Generally, a score of 61 to 80 on the Internet-based TOEFL (iBT) is required for admission to undergraduate and graduate programs in the United States, with graduate schools expecting the higher scores.

TOEFL iBT is a four-hour test with content to assess reading, listening, speaking, and writing skills.

The internet-based (iBT) Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL®) Exam costs 95.00 KD.

Please keep in mind that the IBT TOEFL^® exam is given on set dates throughout the year.  The time of the test varies from one test center to another.  These dates fill up quickly.  Planning is very important now that the IBT^® has been implemented.
