Trang 9Practice Test 1:
Diagnostic
Now that you have an overview of the GRE and all its basic question types, it’s
time to try a full-length Practice Test, including an Analytical Writing section
(one Issue essay and one Argument essay), a 45-minute Quantitative
Rea-soning section, and a 30-minute Verbal ReaRea-soning section This full-length
Diagnostic Test should convey two benefits:
It will give you an idea of how you might do if you were to take the real GRE today
It will allow you to pinpoint areas in which you’re strongest and to target those in which you may need improvement, so you can fine-tune your GRE study plan accordingly
Each section of this Diagnostic Test contains the same number of questions as
a real computer-based GRE section However, on the Diagnostic Test,
ques-tions are grouped by format In each group, easier quesques-tions come before more
challenging ones On the actual GRE, and in the Practice Tests in Part VI of
this book, questions of all types and difficulty levels are interspersed
Be sure to take all sections under simulated exam conditions, meaning that
you take it straight through without a break in a quiet, test-like environment
The actual GRE is computerized; for the purposes of taking the Diagnostic
Test in this book, you’ll need a pencil and some scratch paper
