Re: GRE preparation
Description of the Test
The GRE is divided into three scored sections and one or two un-scored sections.
Verbal : 30 questions - (30 minutes)
* Question types include: Analogies, sentence completion, antonyms, and reading comprehension.
* Tests vocabulary, verbal reasoning skills, and the ability to read with understanding and insight.
Quantitative : 28 questions - (45 minutes)
* Question types include: Problem solving, quantitative comparison, and graph problems.
* Tests basic mathematical skills, ability to understand mathematical concepts, and quantitative reasoning skills.
Analytical : 35 questions - (60 minutes)
* Question types include: Logical reasoning and logic games.
* Tests ability to understand and analyze arguments and to understand and draw logical conclusions.
Experimental Section
In addition to the three scored sections, there may be one 'experimental' section that looks like one of the scored sections; but does not count toward your score. ETS uses the experimental section to pre-test the questions that will show up on the scored sections of future GREs. It looks just like one of the scored sections, so you won't be able to identify it.
Research Section
Sometimes there's a fifth section called the 'research section', which is optional. This one too doesn't count toward your score.
Hope that helped you...
