Test Content and
Structure
The GRE® revised General Test features question types that closely
reflect the kind of thinking you’ll do — and the skills you
need to succeed — in today’s demanding graduate and business school
programs. The test-taker friendly design lets you skip questions within a
section, go back and change answers and have the flexibility to choose
which questions within a section you want to answer first. Get a look at
the structure of the computer-delivered or paper-delivered GRE revised
General Test.
The GRE revised General Test measures your verbal reasoning,
quantitative reasoning, critical thinking and analytical writing skills
— skills that have been developed over a long period of time and are
not related to a specific field of study but are important for all. Here’s
a look at content covered in the three test sections — Verbal
Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning and Analytical Writing.
Verbal
Reasoning
The Verbal Reasoning section measures your ability to:
- analyze and draw conclusions from discourse; reason from
incomplete data; identify author’s assumptions and/or perspective;
understand multiple levels of meaning, such as literal, figurative
and author’s intent - select important points; distinguish major from minor or
relevant points; summarize text; understand the structure of a
text - understand the meanings of words, sentences and entire texts;
understand relationships among words and among concepts
Quantitative
Reasoning
The Quantitative Reasoning section measures your ability to:
- understand, interpret and analyze quantitative information
- solve problems using mathematical models
- apply basic skills and elementary concepts of arithmetic,
algebra, geometry and data interpretation
The Quantitative Reasoning section includes an on-screen calculator. If
you are taking the paper-delivered test, a calculator will be provided at
the test center.
Analytical
Writing
The Analytical Writing section measures your ability to:
- articulate complex ideas clearly and effectively
- support ideas with relevant reasons and examples
- examine claims and accompanying evidence
- sustain a well-focused, coherent discussion
- control the elements of standard written English
The Analytical Writing section requires you to provide focused responses
based on the tasks presented, so you can accurately demonstrate your skill
in directly responding to a task.

General Test and GRE® Subject Tests, and can be used by anyone with

test. However, if you decide you want to take a GRE test again, that’s
okay. You can do so once every 21 days, up to five times within any
continuous rolling 12-month period, depending on test center
availability.
To help you do your best on test day, you can start getting ready with

GRE® Test Fairness
and Validity
ETS and the GRE® Program make ensuring the fairness and validity of
GRE tests throughout the test development, administration and scoring
processes a high priority. To ensure that these goals are reached, ETS has
developed a meticulous system of internal checks and balances, and audit
teams routinely verify that all tests and services meet rigorous
professional standards such as those outlined by the American Psychological
Association, American Educational Research Association and National Council
on Measurement in Education.
Fairness
Fairness concerns are an integral part of the development and scoring of
all tests. The many activities that ensure fairness include:
- fairness evaluations by trained reviewers
- routine analyses of test questions to establish that questions
do not unfairly contribute to group differences - rigorous training for all persons involved in the development or
scoring of test questions to ensure that all examinees have an
equal opportunity to demonstrate their skills and abilities - appropriate accommodations (e.g., alternate test formats, extra
time) for examinees who have disabilities or health-related
needs
Validity
Validity research and analyses establish that the test measures what it
is supposed to measure. The GRE Program has documented evidence of the
following types of validity in GRE tests:
- construct validity (the test measures the skills/abilities that
should be measured) - content validity (the test measures appropriate content)
- predictive validity (the test predicts success)
- consequential validity (the test demonstrates that adverse
consequences are minimal) - external validity (the test has the expected relationship with
other measures of the same construct)
Although ETS works to accumulate validity evidence at each stage of the
delivery and scoring process, the initial impetus for validity research
comes from feedback from members of the graduate school community, who
provide information about the skills and abilities that they consider
essential for success in graduate school.
Verbal Reasoning
Measure
The Verbal Reasoning measure of the GRE® revised General Test
assesses verbal reasoning skills. These skills have been identified by
graduate and business school deans and faculty as critical for success in
graduate and business school. The capabilities that are assessed
include:
- the ability to understand text (such as the ability to
understand the meanings of sentences, to summarize a text, or to
distinguish major points from irrelevant points in a passage) - the ability to interpret discourse (such as the ability to draw
conclusions, to infer missing information or to identify
assumptions)
Quantitative Reasoning
Measure
The Quantitative Reasoning measure of the GRE revised General Test
assesses quantitative reasoning skills. The skills assessed are consistent
with capabilities outlined in the Mathematical Association of America’s
Quantitative Reasoning for College Graduates: A Complement to the Standards
and are based on feedback from faculty surveys. The capabilities that are
assessed in the GRE Quantitative Reasoning measure include:
- reading and understanding quantitative information
- interpreting and analyzing quantitative information, including
drawing inferences from data - using mathematical methods to solve quantitative problems
- Fees for the GRE® revised General Test and Related

About the GRE®
Subject Tests
What Are the Subject Tests?
The GRE® Subject Tests are achievement tests that measure your
knowledge of a particular field of study.
Show what you know about a specific subject and graduate schools will
take notice. The Subject Tests can help you stand out from other applicants
by emphasizing your knowledge and skill level in a specific area.
Each Subject Test is intended for students who have an undergraduate
major or extensive background in one of these seven disciplines:
- Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Literature in English
- Mathematics
- Physics
- Psychology
Note: The GRE Computer Science Test was
discontinued following the April 2013 administration. Scores will continue
to be reportable for five years.
Who Takes Them?
Prospective graduate school applicants take the Subject Tests.
Applicants come from varying educational and cultural backgrounds and the
GRE Subject Tests provide a common measure for comparing candidates’
qualifications.
GRE Subject Test scores are used by admissions or fellowship panels to
supplement your undergraduate records, recommendation letters and other
qualifications for graduate-level study. Some Subject Tests yield sub
scores that can indicate the strengths and weaknesses in an individual
student’s preparation and may also be useful for guidance and placement
purposes.
Where and When Do People Take Them?
The Subject Tests are given at paper-delivered test centers worldwide
three times a year, in:
- September
- October
- April
Who Accepts Them?
GRE Subject Test scores are accepted by thousands of graduate schools,
including individual departments or divisions within these schools.
Although the scores may not be a requirement for admission to a particular
program, admissions committees are likely to consider the scores if they
are submitted. It’s best to contact the specific graduate program you’re
interested in and inquire about their requirements.
Scores
GRE® test scores are valid for five years after the testing year in
which you tested (July 1–June 30). Currently, scores earned from July
1, 2010, to the present are available.
Scores
Reported
Each GRE® Subject Test yields a total score on a 200–990 score
scale, in 10-point increments, although the score range for any particular
Subject Test is usually smaller. Sub scores are reported for the
Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology; Biology; and Psychology Tests on
a 20–99 score scale, in one-point increments, although the range for
any particular Subject Test sub score is usually smaller.
Score Select®
Option
The Score Select® option lets you decide which test scores to send
to the institutions you designate. As part of your four free score reports,
you can send scores from your most recent test administration or from all
administrations of a Subject Test taken in the last five years. After test
day, you can send scores from your Most Recent, All or Any specific test
administration(s) for a fee when ordering Additional Score Reports. Just
remember, scores for a test administration must be reported in their
entirety.
The Score Select option helps you approach test day with more
confidence, knowing you can send the scores you feel show your personal
best. It is available for both the GRE® revised General Test and GRE
Subject Tests, and can be used by anyone with reportable scores from the
last five years. For more information on your score reporting options, see
Sending Your Scores.
