GRE (Graduate Record Examinations)
What is GRE?
The Graduate Record Exam is a test developed by ETS. It is a computer-based, multiple choice standardized test that most business, law, and graduate schools require to consider students for admission into postgraduate programmes.
WHAT IS THE STRUCTURE?
There are three sections in the GRE which are:
- Analytical Writing
- Verbal Reasoning
- Quantitative
Section-level adaptation
The Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning sections are section-level adaptive. The first section of each measure (i.e., Verbal and Quantitative) is of average difficulty. The difficulty level of the second section of each of the measures depends on your overall performance on the first section.
For example, if you do very well on the first Quantitative Reasoning section, the second section of Quantitative Reasoning will be at a higher level of difficulty. The scoring for the Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning measures takes into consideration the total number of questions answered correctly across the two sections, as well as the difficulty level of the sections.
WHAT'S IN THE VERBAL REASONING SECTION?
This section consists of 3 question types:
- Reading Comprehension
- Text Completion
- Sentence Equivalence
Are there any test design features?
The advanced adaptive design of the GRE General Test allows you to move forward and backward throughout an entire section. Specific features include:
- preview and review capabilities within a section
- "Mark" and "Review" features to tag questions, so you can skip them and return later if you have time remaining in the section
- Each Question Review & Edit screen includes a numbered list of the questions in that section and indicates the questions you bookmarked.
- the ability to change/edit answers within a section
- an on-screen calculator for the Quantitative Reasoning section
- Performance by Section
- Performance by Program and School
- Performance by Content Domain (subject area), Question Type, and Skills
- Time Management
How is it scored?
Full scores total to 340. The break up is given in the table below.
If no questions are answered for a specific measure (e.g., Verbal Reasoning), then you will receive a No Score (NS) for that measure.
