It measures your verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, critical thinking and analytical writing skills. Its 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.

GRE exam pattern is generally divided into three main sections: Analytical Writing, Quantitative Reasoning, and Verbal Reasoning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is the GRE exam pattern for 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Computer-based<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>No. of sections<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Total duration<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>No. of questions<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Verbal Reasoning<\/td><td>2<\/td><td><strong>41 minutes<br><\/strong>Section 1: 18 min.<br>Section 2: 23 min.<\/td><td><strong>27<br><\/strong>Section 1: 12 ques<br>Section 2: 15 ques<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Quantitative Reasoning<\/td><td>2<\/td><td><strong>47 minutes<br><\/strong>Section 1: 21 min.<br>Section 2: 26 min.<\/td><td><strong>27<br><\/strong>Section 1: 12 ques.<br>Section 2: 15 ques.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Analytical Writing<\/td><td>1<\/td><td><strong>30 minutes<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>1<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Total<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>5<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>1 hours 58 Minutes<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>55<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning sections are section-level adaptive. The first section of each measure (i.e., Verbal and Quantitative) is of average difficulty. The difficulty level of the second section of each of the measures depends on your overall performance on the first section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Analytical Writing section will always be first. The Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning and unidentified\/unscored sections may appear in any order; therefore, you should treat each section as if it counts toward your score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px\"><strong>Test design features<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The advanced adaptive design of the GRE General Test allows you to move forward and backward throughout an entire section. Specific features include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>preview and review capabilities within a section<\/li><li>&#8220;Mark&#8221; and &#8220;Review&#8221; features to tag questions, so you can skip them and return later if you have time remaining in the section<\/li><li>the ability to change\/edit answers within a section<\/li><li>an on-screen calculator for the Quantitative Reasoning section<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Now that you know the GRE exam pattern let us have a look at the types of questions in each section with an example.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Learn the difference between GMAT and GRE:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tcmw56row-Q?rel=0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer rel=0; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-gre-exam-pattern-types-of-questions-with-example-\">GRE Exam Pattern &#8211; Types of Questions with Example&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As stated previously, The GRE exam pattern is broadly divided into three sections \u2013 Analytical Writing, Quantitative reasoning, and Verbal Reasoning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is a brief overview of the types of questions asked on the GRE Exam:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GRE-Exam-Pattern-V3-813x1024.png\" alt=\"GRE Exam pattern - Types of questions\" class=\"wp-image-52886\" width=\"610\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GRE-Exam-Pattern-V3-813x1024.png 813w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GRE-Exam-Pattern-V3-238x300.png 238w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GRE-Exam-Pattern-V3-768x967.png 768w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GRE-Exam-Pattern-V3-536x675.png 536w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GRE-Exam-Pattern-V3-226x284.png 226w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GRE-Exam-Pattern-V3-1080x1360.png 1080w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GRE-Exam-Pattern-V3-400x504.png 400w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GRE-Exam-Pattern-V3.png 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let us look into the types of questions in each section with an example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-gre-verbal-reasoning-%E2%80%93-type-of-questions-gre-exam\">GRE Verbal Reasoning \u2013 Type of Questions | GRE Exam<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The verbal reasoning questions appear in several formats.

Here is the exam pattern for the three disciplines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"15-mathematics-test\">Mathematics Test<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are approx. 66 multiple-choice questions drawn from courses offered at the undergraduate level. 50% of the questions involve calculus and its applications, and 25% of questions in the test are in linear algebra, abstract algebra, elementary algebra, and number theory.&nbsp; The rest of the questions deal with other aspects of mathematics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"16-physics-test\">Physics Test<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are approx. 100 five-choice questions. The test aims to determine your grasp of fundamental principles and the ability to apply principles in the problem&#8217;s solution. Most test questions can be answered based on a mastery of the first three years of undergraduate physics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The International System (SI) of units is used in the test. A table of information representing various physical constants and a few conversion factors among SI units is presented in the test book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"17-psychology-test\">Psychology Test<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are approx.&nbsp; 205 multiple-choice questions. Each question in the test has five options from which the test taker is to select the one option that is the correct or best answer to the question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stimulus materials, such as a graph or a description of an experiment, may serve as the basis for several problems. The questions are drawn from the core of knowledge most commonly encountered in courses offered at the undergraduate level within the broadly defined psychology field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A question may require recalling information, analyzing relationships, applying principles, drawing conclusions from data, and evaluating a research design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>Did you know&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/gmat\/#16-what-is-the-importance-of-gmat-score-in-mba-application\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">9 out of 10 MBA admission decisions are made using a GMAT score?<\/a>&nbsp;Start your GMAT Preparation by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/ft-gmat-focus-edition-prep?utm_source=blogs&amp;utm_medium=in_article&amp;utm_campaign=ft-registration\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\">registering for our FREE Trial<\/a>.&nbsp;We can help you with a personalized study plan and give you access to quality online content to prepare.&nbsp;We are the most reviewed GMAT Preparation company on the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/reviews\/e-gmat-6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">GMATClub with more than 2800+ reviews.<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n<div style=\"gap: 20px\" class=\"align-button-center ub-buttons orientation-button-row ub-flex-wrap wp-block-ub-button\" id=\"ub-button-9c68e888-751d-4a19-938a-ecfdf99020f6\"><div class=\"ub-button-container\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/ft-gmat-focus-edition-prep?utm_source=blogs&amp;utm_medium=in_article&amp;utm_campaign=ft-registration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"ub-button-block-main   ub-button-flex\" role=\"button\" style=\"--ub-button-background-color: #fcb900; --ub-button-color: #000000; --ub-button-border: none; --ub-button-hover-background-color: #cf2e2e; --ub-button-hover-color: #ffffff; --ub-button-hover-border: none; padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 10px; border-radius: 60px; \">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ub-button-content-holder\" style=\"flex-direction: row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ub-button-icon-holder\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" height=\"30\" width=\"30\" viewbox=\"0 0 512 512\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M0 256a256 256 0 1 0 512 0A256 256 0 1 0 0 256zM281 385c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0s-9.4-24.6 0-33.9l71-71L136 280c-13.3 0-24-10.7-24-24s10.7-24 24-24l182.1 0-71-71c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9s24.6-9.4 33.9 0L393 239c9.4 9.4 9.4 24.6 0 33.9L281 385z\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t<\/span><span class=\"ub-button-block-btn\">Get free prep resources<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"ub-button-container\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/learn.e-gmat.com\/products\/sigma-x?utm_source=blogs&amp;utm_medium=in_article&amp;utm_campaign=sigmax\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"ub-button-block-main  \" role=\"button\" style=\"--ub-button-background-color: #0693e3; --ub-button-color: #ffffff; --ub-button-border: none; --ub-button-hover-background-color: #ff6900; --ub-button-hover-color: #000000; --ub-button-hover-border: none; padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 10px; border-radius: 60px; \">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ub-button-content-holder\" style=\"flex-direction: row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ub-button-icon-holder\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" height=\"30\" width=\"30\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M438.6 278.6c12.5-12.5 12.5-32.8 0-45.3l-160-160c-12.5-12.5-32.8-12.5-45.3 0s-12.5 32.8 0 45.3L370.7 256 233.4 393.4c-12.5 12.5-12.5 32.8 0 45.3s32.8 12.5 45.3 0l160-160zm-352 160l160-160c12.5-12.5 12.5-32.8 0-45.3l-160-160c-12.5-12.5-32.8-12.5-45.3 0s-12.5 32.8 0 45.3L178.7 256 41.4 393.4c-12.5 12.5-12.5 32.8 0 45.3s32.8 12.5 45.3 0z\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t<\/span><span class=\"ub-button-block-btn\">Take a free mock<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"18-faqs-gre-exam-pattern\">FAQs &#8211; GRE Exam Pattern<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1609227883248\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What is GRE?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">GRE stands for graduate record examination and is conducted by ETS (Educational Testing Services).
