GRE FAQs

Posted on March 11, 2019 by EDU

About GRE CAT
What is GRE? What does it test?
The GRE (Graduate Record Exam) is required for admission to U.S. and Canadian graduate schools. Most students attend graduate school for a master or doctoral degree. The GRE exam does not test any specific knowledge in certain subject. Rather, it tests the “mental intelligence” as well as the ability to make decision under time pressure. GRE is now only available as a computer-based test. Format of the exam is as below:

Section  Number (s) of questions  Length
Essays (one Issue and one Argument) 2  45 min for Issue and 30 min for Argument
Verbal (about 6 Sentence Completion, 7 Analogy, 8 Reading Comprehension and 9 Antonym) 30  30 min
Math (about 14 Problem Solving, and 14 Quantitative Comparison) 28 45 min
