Verbal Section
Reading
Comprehension passages are common to
Verbal sections in both exams.
You can expect
Reading Comprehension passages typically consisting of 200-600 words
per passage with 3-4 questions for each passage.
The GMAT has two
other Verbal question types: Critical Reasoning and Sentence
Correction.
Critical
Reasoning questions present a short
statement or argument and then test your ability to use logical
analysis to evaluate the statement. These questions have multiple
choice answers.
Sentence
Correction questions contain a sentence
in which a part of the sentence or the entire sentence is underlined,
and you will be asked to identify and correct errors in grammar and
usage in the underlined portion.
Expect to see 1-4
GMAT-style Critical Reasoning questions
in the Verbal sections of the revised GRE.
While there are
no Sentence Correction questions on the GRE, it contains two
additional Verbal question types: Text Completion and Sentence
Equivalence.
Text
Completion questions will have a
sentence or short passage with one, two, or three words or phrases
missing. From the answer choices, you must pick the missing word(s)
that best fit(s) the overall meaning and context of the sentence.
Sentence
Equivalence question present a
single sentence with one word missing. From among six answer choices,
you must select the TWO answer choices that both logically complete
the sentence AND produce sentences with equivalent meanings. These
question types are a test of your ability to understand a) the logic
and structure of English sentence formation; and b)
vocabulary-in-context.
Expect to see
hard (not-so-commonly-used) English words in Text Completion and
Sentence Equivalence questions.
Writing
The GRE and GMAT
both have a 30-minute essay on the analysis of an argument, where you
are asked to analyze an argument for its questionable assumptions and
overall validity. The GRE, additionally, has a second 30-minute essay
where you are prompted to take a position on an issue and present an
argument for your position using specific and relevant examples. The
specific tasks on the GRE (and the expected quality) of your draft
are far more exacting than those on the GMAT.
