Computer
based General test Content and Structure |
The GRE® General Test measures verbal reasoning,
quantitative reasoning, critical thinking, and analytical writing
skills that have been acquired over a long period of time and that
are not related to any specific field of study.
Verbal Reasoning
— The skills measured include the test taker's ability to
- analyze and evaluate written material and synthesize
information obtained from it
- analyze relationships among component parts of sentences
- recognize relationships between words and concepts.
Quantitative Reasoning — The
skills measured include the test taker's ability to
- understand basic concepts of arithmetic, algebra, geometry,
and data analysis
- reason quantitatively
- solve problems in a quantitative setting.
Analytical Writing — The skills measured include
the test taker's ability to
- articulate complex ideas clearly and effectively
- examine claims and accompanying evidence
- support ideas with relevant reasons and examples
- sustain a well-focused, coherent discussion
- control the elements of standard written English.
The computer-based General Test has three sections.
In addition, one unidentified pretest section may be included,
and this section can appear in any position in the test after the
analytical writing section. Questions in the pretest section are
being tested for possible use in future tests, and answers will not
count toward your scores.
An identified research section that is not scored may also be
included, and this section would always appear in the final section
of the test. Questions in the research section are included for the
purpose of ETS research, and answers will not count toward your
scores.
Total testing time is up to three hours, not including the
research section. The directions at the beginning of each section
specify the total number of questions in the section and the time
allowed for the section.
The analytical writing section is always first. For the Issue
task, two topics will be presented and you will choose one. The
Argument task does not present a choice of topics; instead, one
topic will be presented.
The verbal and quantitative sections may appear in any order,
including an unidentified verbal or quantitative pretest section.
Treat each section presented during your test as if it counts.
