Re: What Is GRE Test
Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is a standardized test that is an admissions requirement for most graduate schools in the United States. It was started from the year 1949. The exam aims to measure verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, analytical writing, and critical thinking skills that have been acquired over a long period of time and that are not entirely based on any specific field of study outside of the GRE itself. The GRE General Test is offered as a computer-based exam administered at Prometric testing centres. The cost to take the test is US$205, although ETS will reduce the fee under certain circumstances. They also promote financial aid to those GRE applicants who prove economic hardship. Duration About 3 hours and 45 minutes (includes 1-minute breaks after each section and a 10-minute break after third section). Score / grade range Analytical writing: 0.0 to 6.0 (in 0.5 point increments), Verbal reasoning: 130 to 170 (in 1 point increments), Quantitative reasoning: 130 to 170 (in 1 point increments). The computer-based verbal sections assess reading comprehension, critical reasoning and vocabulary usage. each verbal section consists of 20 questions to be completed in 30 minutes. The computer-based quantitative sections assess basic high school level mathematical knowledge and reasoning skillseach quantitative section consists of 20 questions to be completed in 35 minutes The analytical writing section consists of two different essays, an "issue task" and an "argument task"he essays are written on a computer using a word processing program specifically designed by ETS. |
