About the GRE:
The GRE can test many things including your ability to handle a rigorous academic load and your performance on standardized tests, such as the PANCE. Successfully mastering the GRE shows admissions committees that you can handle a heavy academic load and make decisions quickly, as the GRE is timed and covers lots of vocabulary. They want to see that you can process information quickly, interpret it, and make succinct decisions based on what you read or observed, even if that information isn’t necessarily native to your knowledge. GRE scores are also good for assessing candidates with degrees from schools the admissions committee are not familiar with.
