The GREŽ General Test measures verbal reasoning, quantitative
reasoning, critical thinking, and analytical writing skills that have been
acquired over a long period of time and that are not related to any specific
field of study.
Verbal Reasoning — The
skills measured include the test taker's ability to
- analyze and evaluate written material and synthesize information obtained
from it
- analyze relationships among component parts of sentences
- recognize relationships between words and concepts.
Quantitative Reasoning — The skills
measured include the test taker's ability to
- understand basic concepts of arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and data
analysis
- reason quantitatively
- solve problems in a quantitative setting.
Analytical Writing — The skills measured include the test
taker's ability to
- articulate complex ideas clearly and effectively
- examine claims and accompanying evidence
- support ideas with relevant reasons and examples
- sustain a well-focused, coherent discussion
- control the elements of standard written English.
The computer-based General Test has three sections.
In addition, one unidentified pretest section may be included, and this
section can appear in any position in the test after the analytical writing
section. Questions in the pretest section are being tested for possible use in
future tests, and answers will not count toward your scores.
An identified research section that is not scored may also be included, and
this section would always appear in the final section of the test. Questions in
the research section are included for the purpose of ETS research, and answers
will not count toward your scores.
Total testing time is up to three hours, not including the research section.
The directions at the beginning of each section specify the total number of
questions in the section and the time allowed for the section.
The analytical writing section is always first. For the Issue task, two
topics will be presented and you will choose one. The Argument task does not
present a choice of topics; instead, one topic will be presented.
The verbal and quantitative sections may appear in any order, including an
unidentified verbal or quantitative pretest section. Treat each section
presented during your test as if it counts.
