summary
understanding the section adaptive nature of the gre is crucial for test-takers to maximize their scoring potential.
- the gre is a section adaptive test, meaning the difficulty of the second section is determined by performance in the first.
- math and verbal sections are scored separately, and performance in one does not affect the other.
- the first sections are of medium difficulty but contain a mix of easy and difficult questions.
- scoring is influenced by the difficulty of the second section; harder questions carry more weight.
- performing well in the first section is essential for unlocking access to a higher scoring range.
