GRE® GENERAL TEST 

The GRE General Test closely reflects the kind of thinking you’ll do in today's demanding graduate school programs, including business and law. It measures your verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, critical thinking and analytical writing skills — skills that have been developed over a long period of time and aren’t related to a specific field of study but are important for all.

AP exam is not offered at AUS Testing Center.

American University of Sharjah recognizes the Advanced Placement Exams and awards advanced standing credit, on a case-by-case basis, for those students who take the exam and receive a minimum required score as determined by AUS. Students who earn advanced standing may be exempted from taking certain AUS placement exams, depending on the subjects/courses taken and the grades earned.

Applicants are required to submit GMAT Test scores for admission to the MBA or PhD in Business Administration (PhD-BA) program at AUS.
