What is GRE?

GRE is an important step towards your application for graduate school and also for business school.

The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is a computer based (section-wise adaptive test), administered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS), available round the year, intended to assess analytical, writing, quantitative, verbal, and reading skills for use in admission to graduate programs. The test provides business schools with means to compare the preparedness of applicants for a wide variety of programs like economics, engineering, liberal arts, MS programs, MBA and also for PhD programs. 

Institutes normally focus on the most relevant part of the GRE score – either Verbal or Quant. Usually, math-heavy fields, such as physics, value Quant scores the most, whereas reading-heavy fields, such as English literature, value Verbal scores the most.




The GRE sections

The GRE measures your command of basic math – including arithmetic, algebra, geometry, combinatorics, and data analysis as well as vocabulary along with comprehension skills. It measures your ability to analyze, evaluate, think critically, and solve problems. The GRE has 5 sections:

Quantitative Reasoning (2 sections) – it tests you on your ability to solve questions based on mathematics including arithmetic, number properties, algebra, geometry and combinatorics. There are 3 types of questions:

Verbal Ability (2 sections) – it tests your ability to comprehend passages and answer questions, your skill in analyzing arguments, along with your vocabulary skills. There are 3 types of questions:

Analytical Writing Assessment (1 essay) – it tests whether you can identify and analyze parts of an argument, develop rational ideas and organize them logically

Solving Mixture problems of the GMAT

Image
Let us take a question on mixtures. We will try to solve it using five different methods A 80 liter solution contains 20% alcohol by volume. A part of the solution is removed and replaced with pure alcohol to bring the alcohol concentration to 25%. What is the volume of the solution that was removed? Method 1 - Using basic percentage computations and setting up an equation Volume of alcohol in the 80 liters solution = 20% of 80 = 20 × 80 ÷ 100 = 16 liters Let volume of solution removed = v liters This will also have 20% alcohol ⇒ Volume of alcohol removed = 20 × v ÷ 100 = 0.2v liters Volume of alcohol added = v liters (Note: replace imples adding a quantity equal to what was removed) Thus, total alcohol volume = (16 - 0.2v + v) = (16 + 0.8v) liters Total solution volume = 80 liters Thus, required percent = [(16 + 0.8v) ÷ 80] × 100 Thus, we have: [(16 + 0.8v) ÷ 80] × 100 = 25 ⇒ 16 + 0.8v = 20 ⇒ v = 5 liters - Answer Method 2 - Using the fact that the concentration of alcohol remains u...

No size fits all – how much time you will take depends on these factors: Learning curve – Which part of the learning curve you are currently in Efficiency – How efficient is your learning process Tools – Whether you are using the right tools (materials and practice questions) for your prep Determine the time you need for your GMAT preparation Take a diagnostic test. You can use our a  GMAT diagnostic  for a start. We will divide the result in 3 categories based on your score: 500 or lower – average prep time to reach 700+ is 5-8 months Between 500 and 600 – average prep time to reach 700+ is 3-5 months Between 600 and 650 – av...
