Computer-Based General Test Content and Structure |
The computer-based General Test has
three sections. In addition, one unidentified pretest section
may be included, and this section can appear in any position in
the test after the analytical writing section. Questions in the
pretest section are being tested for possible use in future
tests, and answers will not count toward your scores.
An identified research section that is not scored may also be
included, and this section would always appear in the final
section of the test. Questions in the research section are
included for the purpose of ETS research, and answers will not
count toward your scores.
Total testing time is up to three hours, not including the
research section. The directions at the beginning of each
section specify the total number of questions in the section and
the time allowed for the section.
The analytical writing section is always first. For the Issue
task, two topics will be presented and you will choose one. The
Argument task does not present a choice of topics; instead, one
topic will be presented. The verbal and quantitative sections
may appear in any order, including an unidentified verbal or
quantitative pretest section. Treat each section presented
during your test as if it counts. |
