Lecture Notes of GRE® revised Writing Jim Chen （陈晟） Lecture Notes of GRE® revised Writing Jim Chen Part I Introduction 1.1 Overview of Computer-based Revised GRE Test The GRE® revised General Test contains six sections: • an Analytical Writing section with two tasks, which always comes first in the test • two Verbal Reasoning sections • two Quantitative Reasoning sections • one unscored section, typically a Verbal Reasoning or Quantitative Reasoning section, that may appear at any point in the test Questions in the unscored section are being tried out either for possible use in future tests or to ensure that scores on new editions of the test are comparable to scores on earlier editions. An identified research section may be included in place of the unscored section. The research section will always appear at the end of the test. Questions in this section are included for the purpose of ETS research and will not count toward your score. The Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning and unidentified/unscored sections may appear in any order; therefore, you should treat each section as if it counts toward your score. The Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning measures are section-level adaptive. The computer selects the second section of a measure based on your performance on the first. The Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning measures allow you to preview other questions within the specific section on which youre working, review questions youve already answered and change your answers. 1.2 Typical Computer-based New GRE Composition Section Number of Questions Time Analytical Writing 1 Issue Task and 1 Argument Task 30 minutes per task Verbal (2 sections) Approximately
