The most important part of the GRE is the General Test, which is offered only in the Computer Adaptive format. The test is scored on a 200-800 scale for each of the GRE’s three categories: Verbal, Quantitative (math), and Analytical. The experimental section is not scored. It can be verbal, quantitative, or analytical, and you may not be able to determine which section it is. The purpose of the experimental section is to help ETS, the company that writes the test, conduct research. The Structure of the GRE CATThe structure of the computerized GRE, also called the GRE CAT, is the following: 1 Verbal section 30 questions 30 minutes 1 Quantitative section 28 questions 45 minutes 1 Analytical section 35 questions 60 minutes 1 Experimental section ??? questions ??? minutes 1 Research section ??? questions ??? minutes The verbal, quantitative, and analytical sections are all scored, while the experimental and research sections are both unscored. The experimental section will be a Verbal, Quantitative, or Analytical section, and you will not be able to determine which section it is. The research section will be a verbal, quantitative, or analytical section, and it will be identified as an unscored section. If it is included in your test, the research section will show up as the last section on the exam. You will always have 3 scored sections on a GRE CAT and 1 or 2 unscored sections. The Princeton Review Report on the April 1999 GRE If your test form was 3VGR1, your experimental section was 4. If your test form was S5-3VGR1, your experimental section was 7. The test contained little that was unexpected. The Verbal section was awash in Hit Parade words. On the Analogies, making a sentence reigned supreme, and recycled relationships made your job much easier. The majority of the Sentence Completions had two blanks, giving you extra chances to eliminate wrong answers. The answer choices to the Reading Comprehension questions were somewhat convoluted at times, but the questions contained plenty of specific information to help you dig the answers out of the passage. The Antonyms contained more Hit Parade words than did any of the other sections, so if you studied vocabulary you undoubtedly faired well. You probably saw much that was familiar on the Quantitative sections. There was no shortage of plugging in to do on regular problems and on Quantitative Comparison. Factoring questions may have presented some challenges, if only because there were so many of them, along with average problems, and geometry questions, especially ones involving coordinate geometry. The chart asked some typical questions on some relatively straightforward charts and graphs. On the Analytic sections, there were seven games, six of which were regular assignment games. Although some of the clues may have been a little tricky, if you drew your set-up, symbolized your clues, and made deductions, you probably came through these games with no major problems. The other game required you to draw a map of the tubes connecting several elements. Once you made your map, the questions responded best to process of elimination. Of the arguments, most were weaken/strengthen or assumption, and the rest also fell into familiar categories. GRE Writing Assessment Testby Magda Pecsenye
