The GRE General Test is designed to measure verbal, quantitative and analytical skills which are positively related to graduate school achievement. The GRE is not designed to measure intelligence, creativity, motivation or social worth. Your GRE score is only one of several criteria which graduate schools use to evaluate your application. The best predictor of success in graduate school is a combination of GRE scores and undergraduate grade point average. Find out the policies of the different departments to which you are applying.
