Prepare for the current GRE with section-by-section pacing, Verbal and Quant adaptation strategy, Analytical Writing practice, ETS registration planning, and test-day readiness.
ETS lists the current GRE General Test as a computer-delivered exam of about 1 hour and 58 minutes. It includes one Analytical Writing task, two Verbal Reasoning sections, and two Quantitative Reasoning sections, with Verbal and Quant scored through section-level adaptation.
The shorter GRE rewards fast section management, clean writing structure, and familiarity with ETS delivery rules.
ETS lists the current GRE General Test at about 1 hour and 58 minutes with five sections.
Analytical Writing is one 30-minute Analyze an Issue task and always appears first.
Each measure has two sections: 12 questions in section 1 and 15 questions in section 2, with different time limits.
The GRE can be taken at an ETS-authorized test center or at home where available, with different check-in and equipment rules.
The post-September 2023 GRE removes the long legacy format and concentrates performance into five timed sections. Candidates need enough stamina for the full test, but the bigger challenge is making accurate decisions quickly inside shorter Verbal and Quant sections.
Analytical Writing is always first, then Verbal and Quant may appear in either order. ETS allows candidates to move within a section, mark questions, review answers, and use an on-screen calculator in Quant, so practice should include the exact navigation habits used on test day.
Test-center candidates need matching ID, arrival planning, and score-recipient decisions. At-home candidates also need ETS Secure Browser, a compliant room, speaker and microphone setup, a movable camera view, current second-camera procedures, and identity verification completed early enough to avoid check-in delays.

The GRE General Test is ETS's graduate, business, and law school admissions exam. The current computer-delivered test is about 1 hour and 58 minutes and has five sections: one 30-minute Analyze an Issue writing task, two Verbal Reasoning sections with 12 and 15 questions, and two Quantitative Reasoning sections with 12 and 15 questions. Analytical Writing always appears first, while Verbal and Quant may appear in either order afterward. ETS describes Verbal and Quant as section-level adaptive, with the second section's difficulty reflecting performance on the first section. The exam is available at test centers and at home where offered; at-home testing uses ETS Secure Browser, human proctoring, equipment checks, room rules, a second-camera setup, and IDVaaS identity verification for current bookings. HiraEdu helps candidates prepare legitimately with official-structure diagnostics, pacing plans, writing drills, Quant and Verbal review, ETS account planning, test-center or at-home readiness checks, score-report strategy, and retake timing.
