Verbal Reasoning
Two sections each with 20 questions, 30 minutes for each section

Each section includes a mix of reading comprehension question, text completion, and sentence equivalence questions.

Reading comprehension questions are either single answer, multiple answers, or select in passage, while text completion questions will have either one, two, or three blanks. For more information on each of these question types, please see that tutorial section.

Quantitative Reasoning
Two sections each with 20 questions, 35 minutes for each section
Each quantitative reasoning section (also common called the "Math GRE sections") contains a mix of multiple choice, quantitative analysis, and user input questions. For more information about the quantitative reasoning questions, proceed to the appropriate tutorial.

Unscored Section
An experimental section that will either be a math or a verbal section may also be included on the exam.
You will know if you were given a math or verbal experimental section because you will have two of those sections during the test, but you won’t know which of two identical sections will be experimental.
The experimental section does not count toward your score, and is used by ETS to try out new questions for possible use in future exams.
