McGraw-Hill's GRE was one of the first guides to provide complete coverage of the new test features. The revised test is partially computer-adaptive (the old one had no computer-adaptive functions), and it has several all-new question types. Thousands of graduate programs require the GRE for admission. In addition, more than 500 business schools worldwide now also accept GRE scores for admission to MBA programs. The list includes many top-ranked schools such as Harvard, IE, INSEAD, MIT Sloan and Stanford. In 2010, the GRE General Test was taken by about 675,000 candidates. Test volume outside the United States increased 13% in 2010. The number of GRE takers outside the US in 2008 was approximately 172,000, with the largest numbers in China (52,000) and India (55,000).
