US students taking the GRE ranked below students from all but one of the other countries. Thank Allah for Saudi Arabia.
As the Inside Higher Ed article, points out, this is not a fair comparison.
only top potential graduate students in some countries (typically those looking at American or other Western institutions) might take the GRE, while many Americans take the test while seeking admission to a wide range of graduate programs.How many of those 29,000 Chinese test-takers are applying to Education programs? Or Sports Management?
Still, the comparison with Canada might be less biased. It’s also interesting to note that on verbal and writing, the US trails the other English-speaking countries. But if you have a stack of essays to read this weekend, you probably already guessed that.
