GRE ® (Graduate Record Examinations)® is a computer based examination. As you begin the Computer based general test, test questions of medium difficulty are put forth. Which will be the next question presented, is based on how you answered the preceding questions. If you answered the earlier questions correctly, more difficult questions will typically be presented. If your responses have been incorrect, less difficult questions will be presented.
As each questions is scored before you take the next question, you cannot go back and change your earlier response.
The Test Pattern for GRE is:
Verbal: 30-minute section - 30 questions
Quantitative: 45-minute section - 28 questions
Analytical: 60-minute section - 35 questions
The time taken for the Gre cat is dependent on each section - the Verbal is for 30 mins, Quantitative for 45 mins and Analytical, for an hour. Along with the surprise section, which could be any one of these three, the total test duration could be anywhere between 2 hours 45 mins to 3 hours 15 mins.
