What is the GRE The Graduate Record Exam (GRE) measures your ability to succeed at graduate-school level studies, exactly like theSATandACTmeasure your ability to succeed at undergraduate schooling. Your score on the GRE is one of the primary factors used by university admissions officers for determining whether or not to accept you into their programs. As such, it is important to prepare for the GRE and score as highly as you can. GRE Format Developed by Educational Testing Services (ETS), the GRE exam has many similarities to the SAT. Both are now computer adaptive tests (CAT); no need to bring a pencil, pen or paper to the test site. In a CAT, you answer one question at a time; your answer to each question determines the difficulty level of the next question. As you answer questions correctly, the computer program increases the difficulty of your questions; when you answer a question incorrectly, the computer program provides another of the same difficulty or a slightly reduced difficulty. Eventually, the computer program determines your score based on the correct level of your skill in that area. The GRE exam measures three skill areas Analytical Writing (2 tasks for a total of 60 minutes) Verbal Reasoning (2 sections for a total of 60 minutes) Quantitative Analysis (2 sections for a total of 70 minutes) The analytical writing sectionuses a free-response (or essay) format to measure your ability to write complex thoughts in clear, precise English prose. The skills you need to demonstrate in this section include Evaluate claims and evidence Develop a complex, coherent argument/discussion Support ideas with reasons and example Write using standard punctuation and grammar For this section of the test, you will need to write an essay or argument for each of the two tasks. You should be able to type and use a basic word processing program (no, the word processor does not have grammar or spell check - you have to supply those skills on your own). For most international students, this section is moderately difficulty. Although the GRE exam requires you to demonstrate a sophisticated command of written English, the free response format allows you to craft your answer in whatever ways highlight your strengths. The verbal reasoning sectionuses a multiple choice format to measure your command of English vocabulary and reading comprehension. It is very similar to the SAT and ACT reading comprehension tests, although the questions are generally more evaluative and require a finer command of the subtleties of the English language. The skills measured in the verbal reasoning sections of the GRE exam includeAnalyze multiple layers of meaning (both literal and figurative) For most international students, the verbal reasoning section will be the most challenging, especially for those students for whom English is not their primary language.
