The Graduate Record Examination

Hello sir, I am Samson Johnson. I am from Houston. I want you to help me by giving me some information about the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). Give me some details about it.

As you have asked details about the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), I am giving you information about it, check below for the details
Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is a type of a standardized test.
It is an admissions requirement for most graduate schools in the United States.

It aims to measure verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, analytical writing, and critical thinking skills that have been acquired over a long period of time and that are not entirely based on any specific field of study outside of the GRE itself.

The GRE revised General Test features question types that closely reflect the kind of thinking you'll do in graduate or business school.
Verbal Reasoning — Measures your ability to analyze and evaluate written material and synthesize information obtained from it, analyze relationships among component parts of sentences and recognize relationships among words and concepts.
Quantitative Reasoning — Measures problem-solving ability using basic concepts of arithmetic, algebra, geometry and data analysis.
Analytical Writing — Measures critical thinking and analytical writing skills, specifically your ability to articulate and support complex ideas clearly and effectively.

The structure of the computer-based GRE revised General Test consists of five sections.
The first section is always the analytical writing section involving separately timed issue and argument tasks.
The next five sections consist of two verbal reasoning sections, two quantitative reasoning sections, and either an experimental or research section.
Duration
About 3 hours and 45 minutes (includes 1-minute breaks after each section and a 10-minute break after third section).

Score / grade range
Analytical writing: 0.0 to 6.0 (in 0.5 point increments),
Verbal reasoning: 130 to 170 (in 1 point increments),
Quantitative reasoning: 130 to 170 (in 1 point increments).
