What to expect with the GRE revised General Test:
1. A new test-taker friendly design for the computer-based test that lets you edit or change your answers and skip questions, all within a section, and more — giving you the freedom to use more of your own test-taking strategies.
Here are the changes that give you a better test experience:
-
New preview and review capabilities within a section
-
"Mark and review" feature to tag questions, so you can skip and return later
-
New ability to change/edit answers within a section
-
New on-screen calculator for the Quantitative Reasoning section
-
New questions that better reflect the skills you'll need for graduate and business school
-
New answer formats, including tasks such as numeric entry and highlighting a sentence in a passage to answer a question
-
Less reliance on vocabulary out of context, more emphasis on reading — and no antonyms or analogies
2. New types of questions in the Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning sections, many featuring real-life scenarios that reflect the kind of thinking you'll do in today's demanding graduate and business school programs.
What new for the Verbal Reasoning section:
-
Antonyms and analogies have been removed from the test, so there are no questions that test vocabulary out of context.
-
New Text Completion questions test your ability to interpret, evaluate and reason from what you've read. Text Completion questions test this ability by omitting crucial words from short passages, requiring you to fill them in by selecting words or phrases.
-
New Sentence Equivalence questions test your ability to reach a conclusion about how a sentence should be completed while focusing on the meaning of the whole sentence.
-
There are more Reading Comprehension questions on the test, including new types of questions, such as selecting multiple correct answer choices instead of just one, or highlighting a sentence within a reading passage to answer the question.
