Sothetestislearnable,that'swhatwe'regonnado.Orthat'swhatyou'regonnadohere

Andlookforwardtoseeingyouthere.

WhatsontheGRE

Inthisvideo,wearegoingtotalkabouttheGREformat,whattoexpectintermsofthe

sectionsthatareonthetestandthelengthofthosesections.

Sofirstup,there'ssomethingcalledtheAWAsection.Thatstandsforanalyticalwriting

assessment.Youdon'treallyhavetoknowthat.Whatyoushouldknowiswhenyousee

AWA,think,"Ahztheessaysection,"Nextyou'regonnahaveaquantitativesection.

Andthatconsistsoftwosections.JustastheAWAconsistsoftwoessays,thequantitative

sectionconsistsoftwosections.Nextwehavetheverbal,whichalsoconsistsoftwo

sections.

There'salotoftwo,two,andtwogoingonhere.Notethatconsistency,butthenwehave

thiscrazysectioncalledtheexperimentalsection.Theexperimentalsectionisjustgoingto

beonesection.

justonesection.Nowwhatistheexperimentalsection?Ithinkthat'sthequestionthatalot

ofpeoplehave.itsastrangesectionbecauseit'snotactuallygraded.Secondly,thereisno

wayforyoutodeterminewhetherasectionyou'regettingisanexperimentalsection.

Next,youdon'tknowifthatexperimentalsectionisgonnabequantitativeorverbalSoif

yougetatestandthattesthasthreequantitativesections,thatis,attheendofthetest

youfinishupandtherearethree,nottwo,thenyoucanatleastinferthatoneofthose

sectionswastheexperimentalsection.

Again,there'sreallynowayoftellingsoalwaysdoyourbestandalwaysexpectthis

experimentalsection.Now,you'reprobablywondering,howHowmuchtimedoesallofthis

take?

Well,let'sstartwiththeessays.Wehaveheretheissueessaywhichtakesthirty

minutes.Nowyoumaybetemptedtoask,"Oh,tellmemore.Whatdoyoumeanbythe

issueessay?"Fornoworatleastinthisvideo,we'redealingmorewithhighlevel,bigpicture,

whatarethenamesofthesectionsandhowlongdotheygiveyou?

Butifyou'rereallytempted,youcannavigateonthelessonspagedowntowhereitthe

learnmoreabouttheissueandyoucanalsolearnmoreabouttheargument.

ButfornowInthisvideowewannarememberthattherearetwoessays,issueandargument,

andyouget30minutesforbothessays.Sobasicallyyou'llbewritingforonehour.Next,

thereis,aswementioned,quantitativeormathsection.

Sothoseareusedinterchangeably.Quantitativemeansmath,mathmeansquantitative.And

inthiscase,wehavetwentyquestionsandyouhave35minutesfortheentiresection.You'll

notethatthatworksouttonotquitetwominutesbutactuallyaminuteand45secondsper

question.

Sothat'ssomethingtokeepinmindwhenwegointothepacingwhichcomeslater.Asfor

theverbalsection,samenumberofquestionsbutactuallyfivefewerminutes,whichworks

outtoaminuteandahalfperquestion.

Again,goodthingtokeepinmindwhenitcomestopacing.Whatdoesthisallmean,though?

Well,intermsoftotalhours,fourhours.Nowyouwonder,well,howdoesthatactuallywork?

Fourplusisanawfullylongtime.

IfI'mspendinganhourhereontopontheessays,thenthat'sthreeplushourssections.

Butremember;you'regonnahavemultiplemathsectionsandmultipleverbalsections.And

youthrowintheexperimentalsection,nextthingyouknowyouareclockinginatoverfour

hours.

Andofcourse,there'salwayscheckingin,sittingdown,answeringafewquestions,

determiningwhetherornotyouwannakeepyourscoreattheend.Allofthatfeedsintofour

plusourmark.

NowwhileI'matthisscreen,Ithinksomethingthatisimportantistheflowofthesections.

Somepeoplemightthink,"Well,ifyougetamathsection,it'sfollowedbyanothermath

section,followedbyaverbalsection,andit'ssomethingveryorderly.

Butremember;there'sanexperimentalsectioninhere,sotheyreallywannarandomize

thingsasmuchaspossible.Whatthatmeansisthatthemathsectionmaybetheveryfirst

Maybeyou'llgetback-to-backverbalsectionsormaybetherewillbeamathsectionin

maybebeanexperimentalmathsection.So,again,alotofrandomness.

Trynottogetthrownofftestday.Justexpectanythingonceyou'redonewiththesetwo

theargument.

Butafterthat,it'sgonnabemath,verbal,anditcouldbeanexperimentalsection.Youdon't

Youdon'treallyknow.Soagain,beagileaspossible.

MathSectionBreakdown

Inthissection,we'regonnadojustwhatitsaysattheverytop,whichisbreakdownofthe

Fornow,though,knowthatproblemsolvingisgonnamakeupthebulkofthemathsection

about60%,Sothere'satotalof40questions,20persection,notincludingtheexperimental,
