Re: ETS GRE Test

The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is a standardized test that is an admissions requirement for most graduate schools in the United States.[7] Created and administered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS) in 1949

Eligibility Criteria :
Prospective graduate and business school applicants from all around the world who are interested in pursuing a master's, MBA, specialized master's in business or doctoral degree take the GRE revised General Test



GRE Test Sections :

Verbal Reasoning — Measures your ability to analyze and evaluate written material and synthesize information obtained from it, analyze relationships among component parts of sentences and recognize relationships among words and concepts.

Quantitative Reasoning — Measures problem-solving ability using basic concepts of arithmetic, algebra, geometry and data analysis.

Analytical Writing — Measures critical thinking and analytical writing skills, specifically your ability to articulate and support complex ideas clearly and effectively.


Sample questions :
The Verbal Reasoning section of the GRE® revised General Test contains three types of questions:

Reading Comprehension
Text Completion
Sentence Equivalence

Reading Comprehension questions appear in sets; Text Completion and Sentence Equivalence questions are independent.
Reading Comprehension Questions

There are three types of Reading Comprehension questions:

Multiple-choice Questions — Select One Answer Choice: These are the traditional multiple-choice questions with five answer choices of which the examinee must select one.

Multiple-choice Questions — Select One or More Answer Choices: These provide three answer choices and ask the examinee to select all that are correct; one, two or all three of the answer choices may be correct. To gain credit for these questions, the examinee must select all the correct answers, and only those; there is no credit for partially correct answers.

Select-in-Passage: The question asks the examinee to click on the sentence in the passage that meets a certain description. To answer the question, the examinee chooses one of the sentences and clicks on it; clicking anywhere on a sentence will highlight it.

Reading comprehension passages are drawn from the physical sciences, the biological sciences, the social sciences, the arts and humanities, and everyday topics, and are based on material found in books and periodicals, both academic and nonacademic. The passages range in length from one paragraph to four or five paragraphs.
Sample questions 1 to 3 below are based on this passage:

Policymakers must confront the dilemma that fossil fuels continue to be an indispensable source of energy even though burning them produces atmospheric accumulations of carbon dioxide that increase the likelihood of potentially disastrous global climate change. Currently, technology that would capture carbon dioxide emitted by power plants and sequester it harmlessly underground or undersea instead of releasing it into the atmosphere might double the cost of generating electricity. But because sequestration does not affect the cost of electricity transmission and distribution, delivered prices will rise less, by no more than 50 percent. Research into better technologies for capturing carbon dioxide will undoubtedly lead to lowered costs.
Sample Multiple-choice Question — Select One Answer Choice

1.

The passage implies which of the following about the current cost of generating electricity?

It is higher than it would be if better technologies for capturing carbon dioxide were available.
It is somewhat less than the cost of electricity transmission and distribution.
It constitutes at most half of the delivered price of electricity.
It is dwelt on by policymakers to the exclusion of other costs associated with electricity delivery.
It is not fully recovered by the prices charged directly to electricity consumers.

Answer: C
Sample Multiple-choice Question — Select One or More Answer Choices

Consider each of the three choices separately and select all that apply.

2.

The passage suggests that extensive use of sequestration would, over time, have which of the following consequences?

The burning of fossil fuels would eventually cease to produce atmospheric accumulations of carbon dioxide.
The proportion of the delivered price of electricity due to generation would rise and then decline.
Power plants would consume progressively lower quantities of fossil fuels.
