GRE may also refer to:
The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is a standardized test that is an admissions requirement for most graduate schools in the United States. Created and administered by Educational Testing Service (ETS) in 1949, the exam aims to measure verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, analytical writing, and critical thinking skills that have been acquired over a long period of time and that are not related to any specific field of study. The GRE General Test is offered as a computer-based exam administered at Prometric testing centers.
In the graduate school admissions process, the level of emphasis that is placed upon GRE scores varies widely between schools and between departments within schools. The importance of a GRE score can range from being a mere admission formality to an important selection factor.
The GRE was significantly overhauled in August 2011, resulting in an exam that is not adaptive on a question-by-question basis, but rather by section, so that the performance on the first verbal and math sections determine the difficulty of the second sections presented. Overall, the test retained the sections and many of the question types from its predecessor, but the scoring scale was changed to a 130 to 170 scale (from a 200 to 800 scale).
GRE (株式会社 ゼネラル リサ-チ オブ エレクトロニックス General Research of Electronics, Inc.) was a Japan-based multinational manufacturer of electronics equipment, primarily in the fields of radio and other telecommunications. Their products included transceivers, radio scanners, antennas, GPS devices, and satellite equipment. They also produced OEM equipment for other companies, including Radio Shack, Uniden and Commtel.
GRE was established in 1961, and its headquarters was located in Tokyo. GRE had a manufacturing facility in Chiba Prefecture which closed in October 2012. In late 1977, GRE established "GRE America, Inc.", its first overseas operation, with a head office in California. The company established its second overseas corporation, "GRE (Hong Kong), Ltd.", in 1986.
In October, 2012, their China factory was shuttered and they ceased all production. While there have been some reports that GRE intends to resume business, without hardware engineers, software engineers, or major customers, it is unlikely that they will ever be able to resume production. GRE America continues to service GRECOM products and to sell and service Alinco radio products for the North American market.
Everything I see is coloured grey
that's no recognition in dismay
every system has its second sight
indefinable the ruling might
-
Talking black and white
to lay down what is wrong and right
tell the lie of good and evil
narrow minded view
the source of all religious stew
cause everything I see
it's all just shades of grey
-
Trying to escape into belief
disappointment's all you will receive
leaving judgement to a greater power
a sight that evolution will devour
-
Painting black and white
declaring what is wrong or right
tell the tale of good and evil
small-minded point of view
the source of all the ritual stew
cause everything I see
it's all just shades of grey
-
Fear of total death haunting your mind
hoping your eternal life to find
searching for redemption is your aim
deciding others fate for you the same
-
Thinking black and white
to write down what is wrong and right
tell the lie of good and evil
narrow minded view
the base of all the ritual stew
cause everything I see
