The following practice tests recreate the range of questions you are likely to
encounter when you take the GRE. Working through these practice tests under
test-like conditions will help you gain the knowledge and confidence you will
need to achieve your goals on the GRE. Each of the practice tests is composed of
three parts:- Analytical Writing Issue Task 30 minutes
Argument Task 30 minutes - Verbal 20 questions per section 30 minutes per section
- Quantitative 20 questions per section 35 minutes per section
In order to maximize the benefits you gain from these practice tests, you should
make your practice experience as similar as possible to the conditions you will
experience on the actual test:■ Find a quiet and comfortable place where you will not be interrupted.
■ Take an entire test in one sitting if you can find the time. If not, try to clear
time to complete at least an entire section in one sitting.
■ Time yourself and stick to the time limit. If you run short on time, force
yourself to make educated guesses; you may need to make guesses on the real
test.
■ Have your testing materials—answer sheet, scratch paper, and pencils—in
hand before you begin the test. Remember, you can use a calculator only on
the Integrated Reasoning section.
■ Answer the questions in order. You cannot skip around on the GRE, so make
sure not to get into the habit of doing so.
■ Write on scratch paper, not the test itself. You will not be able to write on the
computer screen (!), so get into the habit of using scratch paper.
■ Be sure to type your responses to the Analytical Writing questions.You can also take these practice tests on your tablet or smartphone as well as your
laptop or home computer. See page 2A in the Welcome section for details.
Don’t forget that there are three additional practice tests available online or on
the app.464 PART 5 ■ GRE PRACTICE TESTS05-GRE-Test-2018_463-582.indd 464 12/05/17 12:14 pm
