For a while, it was right on the [official ETS GRE website](https://www.ets.org/gre.html). Applicants could plug their scores into the tool and in both directions a supposedly equivalent score would pop out.

After all, in every corner of the internet it seems that the GRE is championed as the easier exam - and why wouldn't it be?

That said, as of today, January 22, the ets.org/gre PowerPrep practice exam purchasing website could not be more confusing.

In some fields, an advanced degree is necessary for even entry-level jobs, and for others, like STEM fields, it can mean an even higher salary, more and better prospects and more exciting work. But, it’s also not hard to see why many professionals are reluctant to take the plunge into traditional graduate school. Doing so means leaving the workforce, moving to a new city and going into tens of thousands of dollars of debt.

We don’t plan on going into detail on specific concepts covered on the GRE or specific test-taking strategies in this series. Instead, the intention is to cover higher level, foundational issues around preparing for these exams, such as what type of support to get, what materials to use, what mindset to cultivate, etc. This article is being posted on our GRE blog, but we’ll switch from GRE to GMAT over time, as the concepts are broadly applicable to both exams.

The first is what I call the “outer” game. It consists of the how-to’s for getting right answers — the x’s and o’s, if you will — including math concepts, vocabulary, formulas, strategic elimination strategies, time management, and other such tangible applications. The outer game is where GRE students spend most of their time, and it’s what our [online GRE prep courses](https://www.dominatethegre.com/gre-prep-courses-online/) do such a great job of teaching. ### Follow this blog ![](https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/viewthroughconversion/1024210668/?value=0&label=RNTBCNrfvQQQ7O2w6AM&guid=ON&script=0) ![](https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/viewthroughconversion/1024210668/?value=0&label=RNTBCNrfvQQQ7O2w6AM&guid=ON&script=0)
