The current GRE General Test is the shortened format introduced in September 2023. It takes under two hours, compared with the older format of roughly three hours and 45 minutes.
The test has five sections: one Analytical Writing task, two Verbal Reasoning sections and two Quantitative Reasoning sections. Analytical Writing comes first, while the Verbal and Quantitative sections can appear in either order.
The Verbal and Quantitative sections are section-adaptive, meaning the difficulty of the second section depends partly on performance in the first section.
The current GRE is an under-two-hour test with one Analytical Writing task, two Verbal sections and two Quantitative sections. There is no scheduled break.
| Section | What It Tests | Questions / Task | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Analytical Writing | Analyze an Issue — construct and support a clear response to an issue prompt. | 1 task | 30 min |
| Verbal Reasoning | Text Completion, Sentence Equivalence and Reading Comprehension. | 27 total | 41 min total |
| Quantitative Reasoning | Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, Data Analysis and Quantitative Comparison. | 27 total | 47 min total |
| Total | 55 questions + 1 essay; no scheduled break. Verbal and Quantitative sections are section-adaptive. | 55 + 1 | 1 hr 58 min |
