Like the SAT, the general GRE measures your scholastic ability rather than narrowing the focus down to specific areas of study. Subject-specific tests from 14 disciplines can be tacked onto your general test, although the general GRE may accommodate your field's requirements. Check with a school's admissions office to see if you should take a subject test or the Writing Assessment test. The General Test and the Writing Asessment can be taken year round at Domestic Computer Based Testing Centers and Foreign Computer Based Testing Centers. The General Test is not given every day at all test centers.
Subject tests are paper-based.

The GMAT can be taken year round at Domestic Computer Based Testing Centers and Foreign Computer Based Testing Centers.
