Who conducts the GRE?
The Educational Testing Service (ETS) administers the test on behalf of the GRE Board.
What is the pattern of the test?
The GRE is a Computer Adaptive Test consisting of 3 multiple-choice sections-Quantitative, Analytical Writing and Verbal. It also includes an essay section - Writing Assessment, (mandatory only for certain universities). Students need to write this section on a separate day. The Computer Adaptive Test as the name suggests picks the questions based on the test taker's response to the given question. The first question is always of medium difficulty level and from then on the score graph starts to move upward or downward as per the performance of the candidate. A test-taker of higher caliber will get tougher questions than a test-taker of a lower caliber. As the test progresses, the score graph begin to narrow down to a range and that range will determine the final score.
