The GRE consists of an Analytical Writing section that contains one essay question, two Verbal sections that contain 12 and 15 multiple-choice questions, and two Quantitative sections that contain 12 and 15 multiple-choice questions.
How Is the GRE Scored?
The GRE is a multi-stage test. This means that the computer will use your performance in one section to determine the difficulty level of the next section. Within a section, however, the question selection is static and you can skip around. If you do very well on your first verbal section, for example, the second verbal section you will see will be much more difficult. This is a good thing, however, because you must get to and successfully tackle the hardest questions to get to the highest possible scores.
You will receive separate GRE Verbal and Quantitative Scores; these are reported on a scale from 130 to 170 in one-point increments. The Analytical Writing section is listed separately and is scored on a scale of 0 to 6, in half-point increments.

It's been approximate 4 years, since I am associated with Edugen Study. The best part was that even though the I have been associated for 4 years, the continued process of hand holding towards the goals was as just diligent as it was on day one. My counsellor, Ms. Pooja Sargam has been one of the most fundamental pieces to this puzzle called 'achieving your dream school'. My editor for all my application related documents - Ms. Pooja Sargam was more than just an academic figure, guiding me to visualise and pen down my dreams the best way possible. I wished to start my career from California in general and UC Berkeley in particular and all the people who contributed to this process were in sync with this dream.

I was the student for the GMAT classes in 2017. I am writing this message to thank Edugen trainer, who taught me quant. The trainer had helped me out in pulling up my score, by constantly giving me challenging questions, helping in clearing my doubt and sharing a new approach to save time in tricky questions. I gave GMAT in 2017, but scored 49/51 in quant, I got busy with my professional life and gave a GRE after a long gap in May 2020 and I scored 330(Q170, V160).
