GRE Exam Pattern

 So the GRE general test can be taken in 2 patterns:

  1.Computer-based

  2.Paper-based

Computer-based exam structure:

Test Design Features

The GRE revised General Test design features advanced technology that allows you to freely move forward and backward throughout an entire section. Specific features include:

• Preview and review capabilities within a section
• "Mark" and "Review" features to tag questions, so you can skip them and return later if you have time remaining in the section
• The ability to change/edit answers within a section
• An on-screen calculator for the Quantitative Reasoning section   

Paper-based exam structure:

Test Design Features

• When taking a Verbal Reasoning or Quantitative Reasoning section, you are free, within that section, to skip questions and come back to them later or change the answer to a question.
• There are paper-based equivalents for most of the new question types, including text completions and numeric entry.
• Answers are entered into the test book, rather than a separate answer sheet.
• You will be provided an ETS calculator to use during the Quantitative Reasoning section; you may not use your own calculator.

What is GRE?

                        The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is a standardized test that is an admissions requirement for many graduate schools in the United States,[1] in other English-speaking countries, and for English-taught graduate and business programs world-wide. Created and administered by Educational Testing Service (ETS) in 1949,[2] the exam aims to measure verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, analytical writing, and critical thinking skills that have been acquired over a long period of time and that are not related to any specific field of study. The GRE General Test is offered as a computer-based exam administered at Prometric testing centers. etc,etc.... as mentioned here at the Wikipedia site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graduate_Record_Examinations
