A good GRE score is needed to apply for the top universities and courses.
 

What is the Graduate Record Examination?

The GRADUATE RECORD EXAMINATION OR THE GRE is a standardized test that is used to measure the verbal, mathematical, and analytical writing skills of students who wish to do their graduate studies abroad.
 

 About GRE

The test helps to assess the calibre of the applicant for advanced study. Graduate schools in different countries use the GRE score to select applicants. Students applying to these universities must submit their GRE scores with their application.
 

Each student will get a unique set of questions. The maximum score for the GRE is 340. However, the GRE score is not the only criterion determining the applicant’s admission to a university. The test is only one of the factors that is taken into consideration.

GRE Test Overview

The GRE exam consists of 3 modules:

• Analytical Writing (One section)
• Verbal Reasoning (Two sections)
• Quantitative Reasoning (Two sections)

 

GRE General Test Structure

The GRE General Test is a computer-delivered test. Its test-taker friendly design lets you skip questions within a section, go back and change answers and have the flexibility to choose which questions within a section you want to answer first.
 

Test sections and timing (beginning September 22, 2023)
 

The overall test time is about 1 hour and 58 minutes. There are five sections.
 

Measure	Number of Questions	Allotted Time
Analytical Writing (One section)	One "Analyze an Issue" task	30 minutes
Verbal Reasoning (Two sections)	Section 1: 12 questions Section 2: 15 questions	Section 1: 18 minutes Section 2: 23 minutes
Quantitative Reasoning (Two sections)	Section 1: 12 questions Section 2: 15 questions	Section 1: 21 minutes Section 2: 26 minutes

 

The Analytical Writing section will always be first. The Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning sections may appear in any order after the Analytical Writing section.
 

Test sections and timing before September 22, 2023
 

The overall testing time is about 3 hours and 45 minutes. There are six sections with a 10-minute break following the third section.

 

Measure	Number of Questions	Allotted Time
Analytical Writing (One section with two separately timed tasks)	One "Analyze an Issue" task and one "Analyze an Argument" task	30 minutes per task
Verbal Reasoning (Two sections)	20 questions per section	30 minutes per section
Quantitative Reasoning (Two sections)	20 questions per section	35 minutes per section
Unscored¹	Varies	Varies
Research²	Varies	Varies

The Analytical Writing section will always be first. The Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning and unidentified/unscored sections may appear in any order; therefore, you should treat each section as if it counts toward your score.
 

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.
 

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
• the ability to change/edit answers within a section
• an on-screen calculator for the Quantitative Reasoning section
