GRE Exam Sections: What does the GRE test Analyze?
Posted date: 17 Jun 2022
The GRE is a computer-based examination. When an online test is unavailable, however, paper-based exams are an option. The test includes questions that represent the skills you'll need to get into your preferred school and succeed in today's corporate environment. The GRE exam lasts 3 hours and 45 minutes, including a 10-minute break in the middle.
You can miss questions within a segment, go back and redo your answer at any moment during the exam, and even choose the problems you wish to answer first on the GRE. The layout of the GRE exam is as follows:
The Verbal Segment of the GRE
The Verbal Reasoning segment is comparable to the equivalent on the SAT. Text completion (fill-in-the-blank) problems, critical reading, and sentence equivalence are all included. Sentence equivalency is a type of question that is only found on the GRE exam. It invites you to fill in a void in a sentence with two different words in order to make two statements with the same meaning. It helps to have a solid understanding of difficult terminology in context, high reading ability, some understanding of formal logic, and a more-than-basic understanding of English grammar to do well in this section.
The Math Section of the GRE (Quant)
There are three sorts of questions in the Quantitative Reasoning section: conflict resolution, quantitative comparisons, and numeric entry. (Quantitative comparison is comparing two quantities to determine which is larger.) Quant is primarily designed as a problem-solving exercise. This means you won't have to worry about advanced mathematics, trigonometry, geometric theorems, or anything else you learned in high school beyond the third year. However, you may need to brush up on the fundamentals, such as integer aspects, exponents and roots, word problems, and basic geometric properties like circles or triangles—for most students taking the GRE test, high school was a long time ago!
The AWA Section of the GRE
Finally, you must produce two essays for the Analytical Writing Assessment. One is an "argument" essay, in which you are provided someone else's argument and are asked to write about what else you have to know in order to evaluate it. The second form is an "issue" essay, wherein you take a stand and present your own argument on a particular topic. Fortunately, the essays are always based on simple, real-world situations. You should produce an essay that is well-structured (with a clearly stated thesis), well-reasoned (using examples and effectively demonstrating your point of view), and well-expressed.
