Hi buddy here I am looking for syllabus of GRE entrance exam would you plz provide me it?

[Arun Vats]

As you are looking here for syllabus of GRE entrance exam, so dear I am providing you for you but before it I would like to say to you that this exam consists of two tests

1 .GRE General Test and 2nd is GRE Subject Test ( Your Area of Specializations), so best of luck for your exam.

Test I – (GRE General Test)

GRE General Test is consists of three sections:
Analytical Writing
Verbal Test
Quantitative Test

Syllabus of GRE General Test

Analytical Writing
Essay Writing tasks,
This section grabs an idea of your critical thinking and analytical writing skills, and portrays your ability to articulate and support complex ideas clearly. This section consists of two analytical writing tasks:
A 45-minute “Present Your Perspective on an Issue” task, and
A 30-minute “Analyze an Argument” task.

VERBAL Test Take Sample Verbal Test
It measures your ability to analyze and evaluate written material and synthesize material information obtained from it, analyze relationships among various parts of the sentences and recognize relationships among words and concepts. The Verbal section consists of- Analogies, Antonyms, Sentence Completions and Reading comprehension.

Quantitative Test- It comes with an idea to measure our PROBLEM-SOLVING skills, focusing on basic concepts of Algebra, Arithmetic, Geometry and Data Analysis.
