GRE Test Preparation
Overview:
The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is a standardized test widely used for admissions to graduate and business schools globally. It assesses verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and analytical writing skills—essential for success in rigorous academic programs. The GRE is administered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS) and is accepted by thousands of institutions worldwide.(ETS, Wikipedia)
Test Structure:
As of 2025, the GRE General Test is offered in a digital format and comprises three main sections:
- Analytical Writing (30 minutes):
- One essay task requiring the test-taker to analyze an issue and articulate a coherent argument.
- Verbal Reasoning (41 minutes):
- Two sections evaluating reading comprehension, critical reasoning, and vocabulary usage.(Wikipedia)
- Quantitative Reasoning (47 minutes):
- Two sections assessing problem-solving abilities, data interpretation, and basic mathematical concepts.
The total testing time is approximately 1 hour and 58 minutes. The test employs a section-level adaptive design, where the difficulty of the second section in each measure is based on performance in the first section.(Wikipedia)
