What's on the GRE

The GRE General Test has three measures. A good practice test rehearses all of them under realistic conditions:

Verbal Reasoning

Two sections that test reading comprehension, text completion, and sentence equivalence — scored 130–170. Sharpen these with our GRE Verbal practice questions.

Quantitative Reasoning

Two sections covering arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and data analysis, including quantitative comparison and data-interpretation sets — scored 130–170. Drill these with our GRE Quant practice questions and GRE math practice.

Analytical Writing

One 30-minute “Analyze an Issue” essay, scored 0–6 in half-point increments. Practice tests help you rehearse the timing and structure of a high-scoring response.

The GRE is section-adaptive: your performance on the first Verbal (or Quant) section determines whether the second is harder or easier. That is why a realistic, full-length practice test is worth far more than answering loose questions — it rehearses the exact adaptivity and pacing you'll face.

How the GRE is scored

Verbal and Quant are each reported on a 130–170 scale, so your total sits between 260 and 340. The raw-to-scaled conversion depends on the difficulty of the sections the adaptive algorithm serves you.

How to use GRE practice tests

  • Start with a diagnostic. Take one full-length test early to find your baseline and which section needs the most work.

  • Review every explanation. The learning happens in the review — especially on questions you got right for the wrong reason.

  • Practice timed. Pacing is a skill. Full-length, timed tests build the stamina the two-hour exam demands.

  • Retest every week or two. Alternate full tests with targeted section practice to convert accuracy into a higher scaled score.
