The GRE offers a general test and exams in specific subjects listed at right. Quantitative sections cover arithmetic, algebra, geometry and data analysis. The analytical portion evaluates reasoning skills. Each area is scored on a scale of 200-800. The paper-based GRE is offered for the last time on April 10, 1999.
Subject tests are currently only available on paper.
The test will be completely computerized by fall of 1999. February - June. Both versions include unidentified sections for testing future questions, not calculated in scoring. Because several sets of each are administered, not everyone receives the same test. The CAT asks fewer questions because it adapts to meet the test taker's ability.
