The GRE® revised General Test measures the verbal and quantitative reasoning, critical thinking and analytical writing skills you'll need for success in graduate and business school.
Structure of the GRE Revised Computer based test:
The Analytical Writing section will always be first, while the other five sections may appear in any order.
Understand the Revised GRE Test Design:
Three section scores are reported on the GRE® revised General Test:
For the Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning, the reported scores are based on the number of correct responses to all the questions included in the operational sections of the measure.
The primary emphasis in scoring the Analytical Writing section is on your critical thinking and analytical writing skills rather than on grammar and mechanics.
- An Analytical Writing score reported on a 0 – 6 score scale, in half-point increments
- A Verbal Reasoning score reported on a 130 – 170 score scale, in 1-point increments
- A Quantitative Reasoning score reported on a 130 – 170 score scale, in 1-point increments
For the Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning, the reported scores are based on the number of correct responses to all the questions included in the operational sections of the measure.
Analytical Writing Section:
For the Analytical Writing section, each essay receives a score from two trained readers, using a six-point holistic scale. The final scores on the two essays are averaged and rounded to the nearest half-point interval on the 0–6 score scale. A single score is reported for the Analytical Writing measure.The primary emphasis in scoring the Analytical Writing section is on your critical thinking and analytical writing skills rather than on grammar and mechanics.
Verbal and Quantitative Reasoning:
The Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning measures are section-level adaptive. This means the computer selects the second section based on your performance on the first section. Within each section, all questions contribute equally to the final score. For each of the two measures, a raw score is computed. The raw score is the number of questions you answered correctly.- Preview and review capabilities within a section
- A "mark and review" feature to tag questions, so you can skip and return later
- The ability to change/edit answers within a section
- An on-screen calculator for the Quantitative Reasoning section
- New answer formats, including tasks such as numeric entry and highlighting a sentence in a passage to answer a question.

- New Multiple-choice questions which include some that have more than one correct answer, requiring you to select all of the correct answers from the choices provided.
- New Numeric Entry questions require you to enter your answer in a box instead of selecting an answer from a list.
- An on-screen calculator for use in this section reduces the emphasis on computation.
