A few AVMA-accredited domestic and international veterinary schools require the submission of a standardized test score report as part of the application process. The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is the required standardized test for admission to Oklahoma State University, and Tuskegee University. There are two distinct GRE tests, the Subject Test and the General Test, with the latter being the more commonly requested test. The General Test assesses three areas of competency: (1) verbal reasoning, (2) quantitative reasoning, and (3) analytical writing skills. The GRE is administered nation-wide by Educational Testing Services. Please visit the ETS website for information on the test and instructions on registering for a test date.
