GRE FAQ › Study Planning & Preparation
Is the GRE easy?
Yes, but not in the way most people expect. The content is roughly high school to early college level math and strong undergraduate-level reading and vocabulary. What makes it hard is the time pressure, the precision required in answer selection, and the fact that you're being compared to other motivated grad school applicants. With the right preparation, it's very manageable.
