本研究分析了对26个学科和20个采用GRE考试的机构的100多名研究生院教职员工的采访。面试涵盖了招生和招生相关的话题，比如招生、留用和研究生院学生成功的衡量。受访者认为GRE普通考试对于有着广泛不同背景的学生来说是一个有用的共同标准。相比之下，GRE科目考试虽然被认为是学科知识的有力证据，但在竞争激烈的环境中却很少使用。研究生项目需要更多关于语言技能的信息——尤其是写作和口语技能——以及申请者的个人素质，以及更好的国际学生信息。
This study analyzed interviews with over 100 graduate school staff and faculty in 26 disciplines and 20 institutions who use the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE®). The interviews covered admissions and admissions-related topics, such as recruitment, retention, and measurement of student success in graduate school. Interviewees consider the GRE General Test to be a useful common standard for students with widely differing backgrounds. In contrast, GRE Subject Tests, although considered to be strong evidence of discipline-specific knowledge, are being used less in a competitive environment. Graduate programs want more information about the language skills – particularly writing and speaking skills – and personal qualities of applicants, and better information about international students.
