      Chapter 1

      Overview of the GRE General Test

      The Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) General Test, while previously required for admission to most graduate programs, is now part of a larger picture. A strong GRE score can provide evidence of a strong scholarship on an application. This book is designed to prepare students for the GRE General Test. The GRE revised General Test was renamed in 2016 and is now known as the GRE General Test, but the content and scoring of the test remain the same. Note that some graduate programs require applicants to take specialized GRE Subject Tests which will not be covered in this book. Before preparing to take the GRE, please review the admissions criteria for the programs that you are interested in applying to so that you know whether you need to take subject tests in addition to the GRE General Test. To learn more about subject tests, visit the Subject Tests section at ets.org.

      The GRE General Test is not designed to measure your knowledge of specific fields. It does not measure your ability to be successful in your career or even in school. It does, however, give a reasonably accurate indication of your capabilities in certain key areas for graduate-level work, such as your ability to understand complex written material, your understanding of basic mathematics, your ability to interpret data, and your capacity for reasoning and critical thinking. By using this book to prepare for the GRE General Test, you will not only improve your chances of scoring well on the test, you will also prepare yourself for graduate-level study.

      Format of the GRE General Test

      The GRE General Test is offered as a computer-delivered test throughout the year. Post-Covid, ETS provides test-takers with the option to take the test from home.

      Whether you are taking the GRE General Test at the testing center or at home, the format of the test will essentially be the same. The test consists of three main components: Analytical Writing, Verbal Reasoning, and Quantitative Reasoning. The total time for the test will be about 1 hour 58 minutes.

      The first section of the test is always the Analytical Writing component which comprises a single section, after the changes in the test format announced on May 31, 2023.. In the section, you will be asked to write an argumentative essay that takes a position on an issue of general interest.

      The remainder of the test will be split between sections devoted to Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning. There will be two sections devoted to Verbal Reasoning, and another two devoted to Quantitative Reasoning. You will be given 41 minutes to complete both the sections of Verbal Reasoning and 47 minutes to complete both the sections of Quantitative Reasoning. Section 2 (12 questions, 18 minutes) and Section 4 (15 questions, 23 minutes) will be on Verbal Reasoning, and Section 3 (12 questions, 21 minutes) and Section 5 (15 questions, 26 minutes) will be on Quantitative Reasoning. The unscored section has also been removed for the shorter GRE General Test, along with the 10-minute scheduled break, which was granted to the students after the 2-hour mark of the 3-hour 45-minute test.

      Outline of the GRE General Test

      The Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning sections of the GRE General Test are section-level adaptive. This means that the computer will adapt the test to your performance. Since there are two sections each for Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning, the difficulty of the second section will depend on how well you did in the first section. The overall format of the GRE General Test will be as follows:

      Note that the GRE General Test at home follows the same format as the computer-delivered version of the GRE General Test.

      While taking the GRE General Test, here are some things to remember:

      a)You can review and preview questions within a section, allowing you to budget your time to deal with the questions that you find most difficult.

      b)You will be able to mark questions within a section and return to them later. This means that if you find a question especially difficult, you will be able to move on to other questions and return to the one that you had trouble with, provided that you stay within the time limit for the section.

      c)You will be able to change or edit your answers within a section. This means that if you realize that you made a mistake, you can go back and correct yourself provided you stay within the time limit for the section.

      d)You will have an on-screen calculator during the Quantitative Reasoning portions of the test, allowing you to quickly complete any necessary computations.

      The following section will briefly introduce the three main components of the GRE General Test.

      Analytical Writing Assessment

      The first section of the GRE General Test is the Analytical Writing assessment. This component of the GRE is designed to test your ability to use basic logic and critical reasoning to make and assess arguments. The Analytical Writing assessment comprises of a singular assignment, which must be completed within 30 minutes. In the assignment, you will be asked to develop a position on an issue of general interest. You will be given an issue and a prompt with some specific instructions on how to approach the assigned issue. You will be expected to take a position on the issue and then write a clear, persuasive, and logically sound essay defending your position in correct English. You will be assessed based on your ability to effectively defend your positions with supporting evidence and valid reasoning, your skill in organizing your thoughts, and your command of English.

      The Analytical Writing assessment tests your ability to:

      ●Coherently develop complex ideas

      ●Write in a focused, organized manner

      ●Identify relevant evidence and use it to support your claims

      ●Command the elements of standard written English

      Verbal Reasoning

      The Verbal Reasoning portion of the GRE assesses your reading comprehension, your ability to draw inferences to fill in missing information, and your vocabulary. You will be given two sections on Verbal Reasoning, consisting of 12 and 15 questions and lasting 18 and 23 minutes respectively. Verbal Reasoning questions on the GRE General Test are mostly multiple-choice and will be drawn from the following three types: Reading Comprehension, Text Completion, and Sentence Equivalence. Reading Comprehension questions will ask you to read a short passage several paragraphs long, and then answer questions about the passage. Text Completion questions will have a short passage with 1-3 blanks which you will need to fill in by choosing the best of several multiple-choice options. The Sentence Equivalence section will ask you to fill in the blank in a passage using the two words that will complete the sentence in such a way that the meaning will be as similar as possible.

      The Verbal Reasoning section measures your ability to:

      ●Comprehend, interpret and analyze complex passages in standard written English

      ●Apply sophisticated vocabulary in context

      ●Draw inferences about the meaning and authorial intent based on written material

      Quantitative Reasoning

      The Quantitative Reasoning section of the GRE evaluates your ability to use basic mathematics, read and interpret graphs and figures and engage in basic reasoning involving math and numbers. You will be given two sections on Quantitative Reasoning with 12 and 15 questions and 21 and 26 minutes of allotted time for them respectively. There are two basic question types, multiple-choice and numerical entry. For multiple-choice questions, you will be asked to choose the best answer or answers from several possibilities; for numerical entry questions, you will be asked to enter a numerical answer from your own calculations. Some questions will be designed to test your knowledge of basic algebra and geometry; others will be designed to test your ability to read and interpret different presentations of data.

      The Quantitative Reasoning section tests your ability to:

      ●Use mathematical tools such as basic arithmetic, geometry, algebra and statistics

      ●Understand, interpret and analyze quantitative information

      ●Apply basic mathematical and data interpretation skills to real-world information and problems

      On-screen Calculator

      The on-screen calculator in the GRE is a handy tool for you to make computations faster. However, you should only use the calculator for complex equations that will take a longer time to do manually such as square roots, addition, subtraction, and multiplication of numbers with several digits.

      Guidelines for using the on-screen calculator

      ●The on-screen calculator follows the order of operations (PEMDAS). This means that it computes equations in the following order - parentheses, exponentiation (including square roots), multiplication and division (left to right), addition and subtraction (left to right). So, for an equation like 2 + 3 * 6, the on-screen calculator will give the answer 20 but some calculators will give the answer 30 as they first add 2 and 3 and get 5 which is multiplied by 6 to get the final answer 30.

      ●The Transfer Display button will be useful for Numeric Entry questions. The button will transfer the number on your calculator display to the numeric entry answer box. But remember to check the transferred answer as sometimes you may be required to round up your answer; adjust it accordingly.

      ●The Memory Recall (MR), Memory Clear (MC), and Memory Sum (M+) buttons work as per normal calculators.

      Registering for the GRE

      Before you register to take the GRE, be sure to consider your schedule and any special accommodations that you may need. Be aware that the availability of testing dates may vary according to your location. Be sure to give yourself plenty of time to prepare for the GRE and be sure that you know the deadlines for score reporting and application deadlines for all the schools you are applying to. For general information about deadlines and the GRE, visit the GRE section at ets.org. For more information on how to register for the GRE, visit the Registration section at ets.org. For information on special accommodations for disabled students, visit the Disability Accommodations section on ets.org.

      If you are taking the GRE General Test at home, there are certain equipment, environment, and testing space requirements that you need to fulfill before you can start the registration process. For more information on these requirements, read the At Home Testing section on ets.org.

      How the GRE General Test is Scored

      Scoring for the Analytical Writing Section

      In the Analytical Writing section, you will be scored on a scale of 0-6 in increments of 0.5. The Analytical Writing measure emphasizes your ability to engage in reasoning and critical thinking over your facility with the finer points of grammar. The highest scores of 5.5-6.0 are given to work that is generally superior in every respect - sustained analysis of complex issues, coherent argumentation, and excellent command of the English language. The lowest scores of 0.0-0.5 are given to work that is completely off-topic or so poorly composed as to be incoherent.
