The Math Section of the GRE

The Verbal Section of the GRE

The verbal section of the GRE is comprised of analogy, antonym, sentence completion, and reading comprehension questions. These might sound straight-forward, but, unless you have a perfect vocabulary, they can be quite tricky.

The Essay Section of the GRE

Finally, the writing portion of the GRE requires you to write two essays -- an issue essay and an argument essay. These two essays are quite different, in that in one you need to analyze an issue, while in the other, the argument essay, you need to defend and critique a given argument.
