How many questions are on the GRE?

The GRE has five sections: one Analytical Writing essay (30 minutes), two Verbal Reasoning sections (12 and 15 questions), and two Quantitative Reasoning sections (12 and 15 questions). That's 54 questions (mostly multiple choice) plus one essay, and the whole test takes just under two hours. The test is section-adaptive, meaning your performance on the first Verbal and Quant sections determines the difficulty of your second sections.
