One connected journey, from day one to test day.
Every tool in GRE Mastery feeds the next. Your diagnostic shapes your plan, your practice updates your dashboard, and your simulations show how close you are.
- 1Free diagnostic
Start with an honest picture
Take the free 40-question diagnostic, untimed and pausable, and rate your confidence topic by topic. You see which parts of Quant and Verbal need the most attention, course by course.
- 2Personal learning path
Get a plan ranked by priority
Your results become a learning path: high-priority focus areas first, review areas next, strong areas kept warm.
Your dashboard tracks progress against your test date and suggests what to focus on next.
- 3Lessons
Learn the concept before the drill
Lessons for Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry and Data Analysis, and for Text Completion, Sentence Equivalence, Reading Comprehension and Analytical Writing, with worked examples and knowledge checks.
- 4Practice
Practice in the real formats
Filter by section, topic, difficulty and question format. Every question comes with a step-by-step explanation that also covers the most tempting wrong choice.
- 5Simulations
Rehearse the real structure
Full-length simulations follow the ETS structure: Analytical Writing first, then section-level adaptive Verbal and Quant sections, in 1 hour 58 minutes.
- 6Dashboard, tutors and bootcamps
See progress, get help, adjust
Your dashboard pinpoints where points are being lost and what to do next. When you want a person in your corner, book a tutor or join a bootcamp cohort.
Practice in the formats you will actually see.
Practice mirrors the question types described by ETS, so the formats feel familiar on test day.
Five Quant formats
Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry and Data Analysis
- Quantitative Comparison: compare Quantity A and Quantity B.
- Multiple choice, select one of five answers.
- Multiple choice, select one or more answers.
- Numeric Entry: type an integer, a decimal or a fraction.
- Data Interpretation sets: several questions on one table or graph.
Words, sentences and passages
About half passage-based, half sentence-based
- Text Completion: one to three blanks in a short passage.
- Sentence Equivalence: choose two answers that complete the sentence with the same meaning.
- Reading Comprehension: select one, select one or more, or select a sentence in the passage.
One task, 30 minutes
The “Analyze an Issue” task
- Analyze an Issue is the only writing task on the current test.
- Practice planning and writing a complete response against the 30-minute limit.
- Writing is reported separately, from 0 to 6 in half-point steps.
Question types per ETS Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning and Analytical Writing pages.
Every answer comes with the reasoning behind it.
Practice is not just right or wrong. Each question has a step-by-step explanation, and it explains why the most tempting wrong choice fails, so you stop repeating the same slip.
Try the sample question. It is an original example written for this page.
