The verbal section checks the understanding of reading comprehension and reasoning in a multiple-choice format. The section tests the ability to form relations and contemplate day-to-day situations between the given information, and the provided information may be in the form of words, concepts or sentence.

The test takers should have enough knowledge of the subject and also be alert and watchful with a specific end goal to discover the difference or similarities in the given data and concepts. The test taker needs to review and analyze the written material to combine the information and to check the connection between the different sentence elements. The test takers need to read the given passages and answer the questions given under those passages. GRE Quant contains 2 math sections, each containing about 20 questions, and each 30 minutes long.
The Verbal section consists of only three types of questions and they are designed to test the ability of a test taker to solve problems, not the mathematical knowledge. Text Completion - Expert readers don’t merely absorb the information presented on the page; instead, they maintain a relentless perspective of interpretation and analysis, reasoning from what they have read so far to create a picture of the whole and revising that picture as they go. Text Completion questions check this ability by omitting crucial words from short passages and asking the test taker to use the remaining info within the passage as a basis for selecting words or short phrases to fill the blanks and build a coherent, purposeful whole. The passage composed of one to five sentence, provided with one to three blanks and each blank have three answer choices and sometimes five answer choices are provided in case of a single blank and these answer choices for different blanks functions independently, which mean the test takers can select one answer choice for one blank and the choice will not affect another blank choice. Sentence Equivalence - The section check the ability of a test taker to reach a conclusion about how a passage should on the basis of partial information, the section consists of a single sentence with just one blank and ask the test taker to find two choices that lead to complete, coherent sentence while producing the sentences that mean the same thing. So, two answer choices are mandatory and no credit for the partially correct answer. Reading Comprehension - The questions in this section are designed to check the ability of a test taker that are required in order to read and understand the kind of prose commonly encountered in graduate school.

Multiple choices – select one or more answer choices These are the question provided with three answer choices and the test takers are asked to select all that are correct answers; one, two or all the three answer choices may be correct.

The Quant section evaluates the test taker skills in understanding the basic concepts of Arithmetic, Calculus, Geometry and other related topics. These questions are designed to test the test takers ability to solve the problems but no to test the mathematical knowledge. Following are the quant and reasoning skills tested in GRE:

• Understanding quant information
• Analyzing and data interpreting from quant information and including drawing an inference from a given dataset.
• Graphs and mathematical methods are used to solve the quant problems.

GRE Quant contains 2 math sections, each containing about 20 questions, and each 35 minutes long.
The questions can appear in any order. Following are the 5 types of questions appears in GRE.

• Quantitative Comparisons
• Single-Answer Multiple-Choice

Despite what most students say, test takers should keep in mind that the analytical writing will measure the ability of a test taker in writing an essay.
