About the GRE Revised General Test

The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) Revised General Test is a requirement of most academic (i.e., non-professional) graduate programs in the United States, Canada, and many other countries. The GRE has a general test, which most academic graduate school applicants must take, and a number of subject tests that are more specialized requirements of certain programs (e.g., psychology, mathematics, computer science, chemistry, physics, etc.). The exam measures your verbal and mathematical reasoning skills. The GRE is approximately 3 hours and 45 minutes long and is probably unlike any other test that you have ever taken. The GRE is section-level computer adaptive for the two Verbal and two Quantitative sections. This means that the computer will select the difficulty level of the second timed section based on your performance on the first timed section. Within each separately timed section, you will be able to respond to questions in any order as well as review and possibly adjust the response(s) to questions you have already answered.

The GRE is divided into six sections: one Analytical Writing section with two tasks that always comes first, two Verbal Reasoning sections, two Quantitative Reasoning sections, and an unscored Experimental section that will look just like a Verbal or Quantitative section. The order of the Verbal, Quantitative, and Experimental sections is random. Your performance on the Verbal and Quantitative sections results in two separate scaled scores ranging from 130-170 points. Your performance on the Analytical Writing section results in a separate scaled score ranging from 0.0-6.0 points.
