What Do You Need to Know About the GRE?

What is the GRE?

The GRE, or Graduate Record Examination, is a widely recognized standardized test used for admission into graduate and business school programs globally. It measures skills in verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, critical thinking, and analytical writing, providing a comprehensive assessment of candidates’ academic abilities.

GRE scores help universities and colleges assess applicants’ readiness for the challenges of advanced academic study, ensuring a competitive and well-rounded student body. Achieving a strong score can significantly enhance your prospects for acceptance into your desired graduate program.

How is the GRE Scored?

The GRE is scored on a scale for each section:

  1. Verbal Reasoning: Scores range from 130 to 170 in 1-point increments.
  2. Quantitative Reasoning: Scores range from 130 to 170 in 1-point increments.
  3. Analytical Writing: Scores range from 0 to 6 in half-point increments.

 

Both the Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning sections are adaptive. This means that the difficulty of the second set of questions depends on how well the test taker did on the first set.

What are Common Struggles with the GRE?

Common struggles that test takers face include:

Time management, complexity of questions, verbal and quantitative reasoning, analytical writing, and test anxiety.

Addressing these challenges often involves thorough preparation, including understanding the exam format, practicing with sample questions, and developing effective test-taking strategies. Many individuals benefit from enrolling in GRE preparation courses or working with tutors to strengthen their skills and confidence before taking the test.

How to Prep for the GRE?

Prepare for the GRE by first understanding its format and assessing your skills through a diagnostic test. Create a structured study plan that includes regular practice with prep materials and official practice tests. Focus on improving weak areas by dedicating targeted study time and utilizing effective test-taking strategies for each section.

Monitor your progress regularly, adjusting your plan as needed, and ensure a healthy lifestyle to optimize concentration and reduce stress. Finally, for assured confidence, consider enrolling in GRE tutoring sessions tailored to enhance your preparation.
