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.

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
-

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.
