What is the GRE?

A standardized test, the Graduate Record Examination measures Verbal, Mathematical and Analytical Writing skills. The test intends to primarily aid Graduate Schools (of all fields other than business) to assess the potential of the applicants for advanced study. Most universities in the US, while inviting applications from prospective students, ask for GRE scores.

The examination is entirely a Computer-based Test, and no two students get an identical set of questions. The test is scored on a maximum of 1600. The GRE Score alone cannot guarantee admission into a school - the test is only one of the major factors taken into consideration in the long process of an applicant getting admitted into a graduate school he/she desires.
The GRE test has three sections- Quantitative, Verbal and Analytical Writing Assessment.

The following is the GRE test structure.

1 Issue Task* 45 minutes
1 Argument Task* 30 minutes
Verbal 30 questions *30 minutes
Quantitative 28 questions *45 minutes
