GRE Test Practice

The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is a TIMED test, and so you must practice under timed conditions. No Exception! At MyGRETutor, you'll find 5 timed adaptive practice tests.

The GRE General test contains three sections: math, verbal, and essay. The verbal section consists of 30 questions, while the math section consists of 28 questions. There are two essays, an issue essay and an argument essay. In the United States, the GRE test is given throughout the year at selected testing centers. Locations at which the GRE test may be taken can be found on the ETS website.

Getting to Know the GRE Test

The single most important thing that you can do to prepare for the GRE is to become familiar with the test format and to practice with as many tests as possible. Remember that most of the concepts on the GRE are straight-forward concepts that you probably learned in middle school or the early years of high school, and so the content of the test is not hard. The test IS hard because it is a timed test!

The computer-adaptive General GRE test is substantially different from equivalent, paper-based tests. Most importantly, you cannot skip around to various questions, but instead you must answer the question that is currently on the screen and you must confirm that you are sure of your answer choice before going on to the next question. Once you confirm an answer, you cannot go back to change your answer, and a new question is shown. When you confirm your answer for a question, the next question will be slightly harder or slightly easier than the previous question, depending on whether you got the previous question right or wrong. Initially, on question 1, the computer assumes that your score is average, somewhere between 450 and 600, depending on whether you are on the verbal or math section. As you progressively answer more and more questions, the computer will choose the questions that best suit your ability level.
