| GRE® Test
Overview
The GRE General Test measures analytical writing, verbal, and quantitative
skills that have been acquired over a long period of time and that
are not related to any specific field of study.
The GRE analytical writing section tests your critical thinking
and analytical writing skills. It assesses your ability to articulate
and support complex ideas, analyze an argument, and sustain a focused
and coherent discussion. It does not assess specific content knowledge.
The GRE verbal section measures your ability to analyze and evaluate
written material and synthesize information obtained from it, to
analyze relationships among component parts of sentences, to recognize
relationships between words and concepts, and to reason with words
in solving problems. There is a balance of passages across different
subject matter areas: humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences.
The GRE quantitative section measures your basic mathematical skills,
your understanding of elementary mathematical concepts, and your
ability to reason quantitatively and solve problems in a quantitative
setting. There is a balance of questions requiring arithmetic, algebra,
geometry, and data analysis. These are content areas usually studied
in high school.
