Not sure what you're going to do next?

That's why now is the perfect time
to take the GRE® General Test.

It's okay if you still don't know what you're doing after graduation. But whatever you decide, it's good to have a backup plan. Like taking the GRE® General Test, the entrance exam for graduate school — and for a growing number of business schools around the world. It's like having an insurance policy for your future — especially in today's uncertain economy. Now more than ever, you need every advantage to get a job, and keep it. In fact, as of March, there were 30% fewer unemployed advanced degree holders than those with just a bachelor's degree*.

The GRE General Test is like other college admissions tests you're familiar with, except it can help get you into graduate or business school. It takes about 3 hours to complete, and features verbal, math and analytical writing sections — including the kind of material you're learning at school now. So why take the GRE Test while you're still in college? Because you're already in test-taking mode, with your own trusted study techniques. And here's another reason to take the test now: your GRE scores are good for five years.

So keep your options open and register for the GRE General Test. If nothing else, it gives you time to figure out what you really want to do. And get the competitive edge you need in today's economy.
