What You Need to Know About the GRE
The GRE test takes about two hours.
Expect one analytical writing section (30 minutes), two verbal reasoning sections (41 minutes total) and two quantitative reasoning sections (47 minutes total).
The verbal and quantitative reasoning sections are computer adaptive.
Just like the SAT, your performance on your first section will determine the level of difficulty of the second section.
Scoring is based on the number of correct questions and the level of difficulty of the section.
If you find that the second section of a skill is markedly more challenging, don’t get concerned. Just keep working and doing your best!
Like the SAT and ACT, your raw score is equated to a scaled score.
You will receive three scores. The analytical writing score is on a scale of 0-6. The verbal and quantitative reasoning scores are on a scale of 130–170. When researching graduate programs, you should check the score range and/or speak to your graduate school advisor.
