What the percentile levels mean

Each question carries a percentile level: our estimate of the test-taker percentile at which most candidates answer that question correctly under exam timing. It is a calibration from experience, not ETS data, and it is there to show you where your ceiling is.


Common questions

What is on the GRE General Test?

Since September 2023 the GRE takes under two hours: one Analytical Writing essay, two Verbal Reasoning sections and two Quantitative Reasoning sections. Quantitative Reasoning has 27 questions in 47 minutes: 12 questions in 21 minutes, then 15 in 26 minutes.

What question types are in GRE Quant?

Quantitative comparison, multiple choice with one answer, multiple choice with one or more answers, and numeric entry, some of them in data interpretation sets built on graphs and tables. An on-screen calculator is provided.

What do the percentile levels mean?

They are our estimate of the test-taker percentile at which most candidates get a question right under exam timing. They are a calibration, not ETS data, and show which questions separate a top Quant score from a good one.

Are these official GRE questions?

No. Official questions belong to ETS and are published in its official guides and POWERPREP practice tests, which you should also use. These are original questions written to the same format and level, each with a full worked solution.
