GRE (Graduate Record Examination)
The GRE (Graduate Record Examination) is a standardized test used for admissions to graduate schools and business programs.
GRE Exam Pattern:
Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA):
This section measures your ability to articulate and support complex ideas effectively. You are required to write two essays:Issue Task: You'll be presented with a general statement and asked to provide your perspective on the issue.
Argument Task: You'll be given an argument and asked to analyze it, pointing out its logical flaws and suggesting improvements.
Verbal Reasoning: This section evaluates your ability to analyze and evaluate written material, comprehend and draw conclusions from it, and understand the relationships among words and concepts. The Verbal Reasoning section consists of:
Reading Comprehension:
Passages with accompanying questions.Text Completion: Sentences with one or more blanks, and you must select the appropriate words to complete them.
Sentence Equivalence: Sentences with one blank, and you must select two answer choices that produce sentences with the same meaning.
Quantitative Reasoning: This section assesses your understanding of basic mathematical concepts, your ability to reason quantitatively, and solve problems using mathematical models. The Quantitative Reasoning section includes:
Quantitative Comparison:
You'll compare two quantities and determine the relationship between them.Multiple-choice Questions: These cover topics such as arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and data analysis.
GRE Exam Syllabus:
The GRE does not have a fixed syllabus, as it aims to measure your general aptitude rather than specific subject knowledge. However, the following areas are typically covered in the Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning sections:
Verbal Reasoning:
Reading comprehension (passages from various subjects)
Vocabulary testing
Sentence completion
Analogies and antonyms
Quantitative Reasoning:
Arithmetic (numbers, fractions, ratios, percentages, etc.)
Algebra (equations, inequalities, exponents, functions, etc.)
Geometry (lines, angles, triangles, circles, polygons, etc.)
Data interpretation (tables, graphs, charts)
Statistics and probability
It's important to note that the GRE General Test also includes an unscored section, typically placed either at the beginning or the end of the test. This section, called the "Research" section, is used to develop and pretest new test questions and does not contribute to your final score.
I recommend visiting the official GRE website (www.ets.org/gre) for the most accurate and up-to-date information on the exam structure, question types, and any recent changes to the syllabus.
