About GRE

GRE

• The GRE is now only available as a computer-adaptive test. The Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning sections are section-level adaptive, meaning that the first section of the Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning measures span a range of difficulty levels, from easy to difficult. The first section is assembled such that, overall, the first section is of average difficulty. The second section of each of the measures is administered based on a test taker's overall performance on the first section. The Tough questions have more credit than easier ones.
• You can still earn a very high score even if you answer several questions incorrectly. Correct answers to Harder questions lead to large score as compared to easier questions. To get good score more difficult questions has to be answered.
• Some (Very few) Universities may demand Subject GRE.
• After completing your exam, you can send your scores (free!) to four Universities so be prepared.
• Your GRE scores are valid for 5 years.
• You can take the GRE revised General Test (computer-based and paper-based) only once every 60 days, and no more than five times within any continuous rolling 12-month period. This applies even if you canceled your scores on a test taken previously. If you take only the paper-based GRE revised General Test, you may take it as often as it is offered.
