GRE INFORMATION

GRE EXAM:

WHAT’S IT FOR?: The Graduate Record Examination is a standardized aptitude test widely used for admission to postgraduate programmes throughout the USA.

CONTENTS OF THE EXAM: There are two tests: the General Test and Subject Tests. The General Test is offered as a computer-based test which measures Verbal, Quantitive and Analytical Writing skills. Many universities require only the General Test. It comprises the following:

Verbal 30 Questions 30 Minutes

Quantitative 28 Questions 45 Minutes

Analytical 2 Writing Tasks 75 Minutes

The Subject Tests are offered as paper-based tests and are given in 8 subject areas. They require an extensive background in these disciplines. The Subjects Tests are not normally required.

EXAM FEE: $140 for the General Test: $150 for the Subject Test

REGISTRATION: Candidates must ring CITO in Holland to register for an exam, the number is 0031 26 352 1577. Or candidates can fill out an application form, which is in the GRE Bulletin, and send a cheque or bank draft through the post. Candidates who wish to cancel or reschedule their exam, must ring CITO exactly 1 week before their scheduled exam. Failure to do this will result in loss of exam fee.

WEB SITE ADDRESS: http://www.gre.org The web site for the GRE exam provides full information on the test, together with sample questions. It is possible to download a test preparation package from this website. A CD ROM will be sent to applicants on receipt of applications. It is strongly recommended to prepare for these tests as the results are taken very seriously as part of the admissions criteria.

GRE HELP-LINE: 001 609 771 7670, this is the number the candidates can ring with questions about their scores or their actual exam. Call after 2.00 p.m.

PREPARING TO TAKE THE GRE

Minimal computer skills are required to complete the GRE. On www.gre.org, you can download free test tutorials with samples of questions for each of the test section. Before doing the test, it is highly recommended that you review the material in the tutorials. Copies of the GRE Information Bulletin are available in the Careers Resource Area of the Coop & Careers Office in E0005 – in the Postgraduate Study section. This booklet contains the GRE Registration Form and general information on the test.

Test-Taking Strategies for the General Test

This website includes many resources to help students prepare for the GRE® General Test. We strongly urge you to review this section carefully and follow the links below.

Test-Taking Strategies for the Computer-Based General Test

Become familiar with the test before test day. It is always best to know as much as possible about what to expect before you arrive at the test center. Read on to learn about the purpose of the test, the content of the questions, test day procedures, and test preparation strategies and materials.
Once you know what to expect on the test, it's time to practice. Review the free Powerprep® software sent to students upon registration. For additional practice, try answering the free, interactive sample questions or download the Math Review (PDF) or the full-length paper-based GRE® Practice General Test (PDF).
For the Analytical Writing section, the software will give you advice about how to write effective essays for the Issue and Argument tasks. It will also let you practice writing essay responses under simulated testing conditions. For the Verbal and Quantitative sections, try to answer some sample questions to become familiar with the question format.

Analytical Writing Section

Writing tasks will be delivered on the computer, and you must type your responses.

Issue Task

The Issue task gives you considerable latitude in the way you respond to the claim made about a given issue. Practice writing responses on several of the topics, keeping to the 45-minute time limit. To prepare for this task, try asking the following questions when reviewing the published list of Issue topics.

What does the statement mean? What does it imply? What, precisely, is the central issue?

Do I agree with all or with any part of the statement? Why or why not?
Is the statement valid only in certain circumstances?
Do I need to explain how I interpret certain terms or concepts used in the statement?
If I take a certain position on the issue, what reasons support my position?
What examples — either hypothetical or drawn from my readings or direct experiences — could I use to illustrate those reasons and advance my point of view? Which examples are most compelling?
What reasons might someone use to refute or undermine my position? How should I acknowledge or defend against those views?

Argument Task

Because the Argument task is constrained by the line of reasoning in the argument presented to you, read and analyze the argument carefully. Practice writing responses to several of the topics within the 30-minute time limit. Try asking the following questions when reviewing the list of published Argument topics.

What claims, conclusions, and underlying assumptions does the argument make?

What alternative explanations and counterexamples can I think of?
What additional evidence might weaken or strengthen the claims?
What changes in the argument would make the reasoning more sound?

Verbal and Quantitative Sections

IMPORTANT NOTE: Test-taking strategies appropriate for the Verbal and Quantitative sections of the computer-based General Test are different from those that are appropriate for taking the Verbal and Quantitative sections of the paper-based General Test. Be sure to follow the appropriate strategies for the testing format in which you will be testing. Computer-based testing strategies should not be used if you take the paper-based test.

Practice test questions under timed conditions so that you get used to the pace of the test. For example, if there are 30 questions in a section and you have a total of 30 minutes to complete the section, give yourself an average of 1 minute to complete each question. When you are practicing, keep time in mind and remember that if you spend too much time on one question, you will have less time to spend on others.
Use the computer tutorial. The tutorial is included in the GRE Powerprep® software that will be sent to you upon registration. The tutorial will let you try out the functions of the computer (e.g., the mouse, the scroll bar) used during the test.
When you arrive at the test center, you will have the opportunity to complete an untimed computer tutorial before the actual test begins. You can spend up to 30 minutes on the tutorial and other untimed sections to become familiar and comfortable with the computer before starting the timed sections of the test.
Once the test is under way, you can always click on "Help" to review the directions or a summary of the tutorial again, but be aware that this will count against the allotted time for that section of the test.
Some questions, graphs, or passages are too large to appear completely on the computer screen. In these cases a 'scroll bar' appears to the right of the material and the word 'Beginning' appears on the information line at the top of the screen. These are cues to scroll for more information.

Pace yourself throughout the test – You want to finish!

Use the resources available for test practicing (test preparation books, software) to become familiar with the test and test instructions before you get to the test center.
Read the directions carefully before you begin. The directions at the beginning of each test section give the total number of questions in that section as well as total time allotted for that section.
Budget enough time for each question to be able to complete the test without having to rush at the end of each section. Keep in mind the average amount of time to spend per question.
Once you start the test, an on-screen clock display will continuously count down the remaining time. You can hide this display if you want, but it is a good idea to check the clock periodically to monitor your progress. The clock will automatically alert you when five minutes remain in the allotted time for that section.
Use your time wisely. Read each question carefully to determine exactly what is being asked. Eliminate the wrong answers and select the best choice. Don't get stuck on a tough question and lose time. Keep moving through the test and try to finish each section.
You may want to use the one-minute break between test sections to replenish your supply of scratch paper. After the Analytical Writing section, an on-screen message indicates a 10-minute break is available. Section timing does not stop for unscheduled breaks.

Know the rules.

Computer-adaptive tests require that you answer every question in the order it is presented. You can't skip a question and go back. The computer selects the next question from a large pool of available questions based upon your previous responses.
Click on the appropriate answer. Answer each question by clicking on the oval next to the answer choice or by clicking on any part of the text of that answer choice. Complete the answer by clicking on "Next" and then "Answer Confirm." You can change an answer any time before confirming it by clicking on a different answer choice.
Understand the implications of exiting a section or quitting the test. Once you exit a section, you cannot return to it. Click on the "Test Quit" box at the bottom of the screen only to end the testing session. If you quit the test, you will not receive a score for any section, even for sections already completed. If you click on "Section Exit" or "Test Quit" by mistake, you will be given the opportunity to reverse or confirm that decision.
You may take the computer-based General Test once per calendar month up to five times in a 12-month period. This applies even if you ended the testing session by clicking on "Test Quit" or canceled your scores after completing the test.

Understand how the test is scored.

Computer-adaptive tests are scored differently than most paper and pencil tests. The score on the computer-adaptive test depends on a combination of such factors as
- the number of questions answered within the allotted time
- performance on questions answered throughout the test
- the statistical characteristics (including difficulty level) of questions answered throughout the test.

Don't panic if you don't know an answer.

Don't spend too much time on any one question. The last thing you want to do is waste a lot of valuable time on any one question. If, after a reasonable amount of thought, you don't know the answer, eliminate as many answer choices as possible and then select and confirm the best answer. Keep going and aim to complete the test.
If you are running out of time at the end of a section, make every effort to complete the test. Data indicate that most test takers get higher scores if they finish the test. In fact, based on analyses of test takers, a majority of test takers will score higher if they finish the test than if they do not attempt to answer all of the questions. There is a chance that guessing at the end of the test can seriously lower your score. The best strategy is to pace yourself so that you have time to consider each test question, and won't have to guess.

Test-Taking Strategies for the Paper-Based General Test

Become familiar with the test before test day. It is always best to know as much as possible about what to expect before you arrive at the test center. Thoroughly read this section of our website to learn about the purpose of the test, the content of the questions, test day procedures, and test preparation strategies, and materials.
Once you know what to expect on your test, it's time to practice. Review the free full-length paper-based GRE Practice General Test sent to you upon registration. For additional practice, try answering the free, interactive sample questions or download Powerprep® software or the Math Review (in PDF format).
For the Analytical Writing section, the Practice General Test will give you advice about how to write effective essays for the Issue and Argument tasks. It will also let you practice writing essay responses under simulated testing conditions. For the verbal and quantitative sections, you should try to answer some sample questions to become familiar with the question format.

Analytical Writing Section

In the paper-based General Test, the topics in the Analytical Writing section will be presented in the test book, and you will handwrite your essay responses on the answer sheets provided. Make sure you use the correct answer sheet for each task.

Issue Task

The Issue task gives you considerable latitude in the way you respond to the claim made about a given issue.

To prepare for this task, try asking yourself the following questions as you review the published list of Issue topics.

Practice writing responses on several of the topics, keeping to the 45-minute limit.
What does the statement mean? What does it imply? What, precisely, is the central issue?
Do I agree with all or with any part of the statement? Why or why not?
Is the statement valid only in certain circumstances?
Do I need to explain how I interpret certain terms or concepts used in the statement?
If I take a certain position on the issue, what reasons support my position?
What examples — either hypothetical or drawn from my readings or direct experiences — could I use to illustrate those reasons and advance my point of view? Which examples are most compelling?
What reasons might someone use to refute or undermine my position? How should I acknowledge or defend against those views?

Argument Task

Because the Argument task is constrained by the line of reasoning in the argument presented to you, be sure to read and analyze the argument carefully. Try asking yourself the following questions as you review the list of published Argument topics and practice writing responses to several of the topics within the 30-minute time limit.

What claims, conclusions, and underlying assumptions does the argument make?
What alternative explanations and counterexamples can I think of?
What additional evidence might weaken or strengthen the claims?
What changes in the argument would make the reasoning more sound?

Verbal and Quantitative Sections

Leave no questions unanswered. Nothing is subtracted from a score if you answer a question incorrectly. Questions for which you mark no answer or more than one answer are not counted in scoring. Each of your scores will be determined by the number of questions for which you select the best answer.
Work as rapidly as you can without being careless. This includes checking frequently to make sure you are marking your answers in the appropriate rows on your answer sheet.
Don't waste time pondering individual questions you find extremely difficult or unfamiliar. Remember that no question carries greater weight than any other. You might wish to work through a Verbal or Quantitative section of the General Test quite rapidly, first answering only the questions about which you feel confident, then going back and answering questions that require more thought, and concluding with the most difficult questions if there is time.
Feel free to change your answers. You may also change the answer to any question you recorded on the answer sheet by erasing it completely and filling in the oval corresponding to your desired answer for that question.
Work only on the section the test center supervisor designates. You may work only on the section the test center supervisor designates and only for the time allowed. You may not go back to an earlier section of the test after the supervisor announces, "Please stop work"' for that section. The supervisor is authorized to dismiss you from the center for doing so.
Record all your answers on your answer sheet. Answers recorded in your test booklet will not be counted. Given the time constraints, you should avoid waiting until the last five minutes of a test administration to record your answers on your answer sheet.
Mark your answers in the correct response positions. Some questions on the General Test have only four response options (A through D). All GRE answer sheets for the paper-based test contain response positions for five responses (A through E). Therefore, if an E response is marked for a four-option question, it will be ignored. An E response for a four-option question is treated the same as no response (omitted).
