Questions, answered honestly.

Yes. The full mock tests, the instant score report, the worked solutions, and all the tools are free. There is no trial and no paywall. Sign in to save your progress, but it is not required.

No. You can start a mock, use any tool, and read any guide without signing up. Your results show in the browser the moment you finish.

No. Every question is original and written by our team to match the official GRE format and difficulty. We never copy, scrape, or paraphrase real, test-secure ETS questions, which is both a copyright violation and a poor way to learn.

Anyone preparing for the GRE General Test: masters, PhD, and MBA applicants worldwide. Cost is a real barrier for the international majority of test takers, so the core practice and content are free.

No. We are independent and not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to ETS. GRE is a registered trademark of ETS.

Yes. It follows the real structure (an Analytical Writing essay, two Verbal sections, and two Quantitative sections), the official per-section timings, and section-adaptive Verbal and Quant, with original questions written to match the format and difficulty.

Yes, at the section level, exactly like the real GRE. How you do on your first section of each measure sets whether your second section is easier or harder, and only the hardest track can reach the top of the scale. It is not question-by-question adaptive, because the real test is not either.

Yes. Alongside the full mock, the Quant and Verbal pages have standalone, difficulty-tagged section practice so you can drill a single measure without sitting the whole exam.

Yes, on the Quant sections, matching the real GRE: a basic four-function calculator with a transfer-to-answer option for numeric-entry questions.

You get an instant score report: your estimated scaled scores, your exact official percentiles, an AWA estimate, and a full worked solution and trap analysis for every question.

Quant and Verbal are marked deterministically against a verified answer key, using the official all-correct rules for multi-answer and numeric items, then mapped to the 130 to 170 scale and to a percentile.

The scaled score is an estimate, within about two points, because ETS does not publish its equating function, so our model is reverse-engineered and calibrated to the official population means. The percentile shown for a given scaled score is the exact official ETS figure.

The scales are not symmetric. A 160 sits around the 84th percentile on Verbal but only the 50th on Quant, because the test-taking populations differ. That is why a balanced total means very different work depending on your background.

No. The Verbal and Quant percentiles are exact official figures, but the total percentile is an estimate (a normal model), since ETS does not publish a simple total-to-percentile table.

It depends on your target programs and field, but as a rough guide, 320 and above is a widely-cited strong total, and 325 to 330 is competitive at top programs. The percentile, not the raw number, is what admissions reads.

No. It is an AI estimate against the official 0 to 6 rubric dimensions, clearly labelled as an estimate. Only ETS issues official scores, and our grader does not replicate ETS's e-rater engine.

It reads your essay against the published ETS holistic descriptors, treats it as a timed 30-minute first draft (an occasional slip does not lower the score, only severe and persistent problems do), and returns a 0 to 6 estimate with a per-dimension breakdown and specific feedback.

Treat it as directional feedback for practice, not a prediction of your official AWA score. The real test scores with one trained human reader plus e-rater, whose internals are proprietary.

Not universally. Many programs have made it optional or stopped accepting it, but a meaningful set still requires it, especially funded PhDs and top MBA programs. It is set program by program, so check your specific program's own page. See our is the GRE required guide for the full, sourced answer.

Optional means you may submit and a strong score can help. Not accepted means scores will not be reviewed, so do not send them. Waived means the requirement is formally suspended for the cycle. These are not interchangeable.

Sometimes. Some programs waive the GRE for everyone in a cycle; others grant waivers on request based on GPA, an existing graduate degree, or work experience. Separately, ETS offers a fee reduction for eligible test takers. See our GRE waiver guide for both.

Every program status we publish is read from that program's own admissions page, linked, with the date we last checked it. Where a page cannot be verified for the current cycle, we mark it unconfirmed rather than guess.

It converts a Verbal or Quant scaled score into the exact official ETS percentile rank, and estimates the total percentile. The Verbal and Quant figures are the official ETS data.

A short, free diagnostic: answer a mix of real-format Verbal and Quant questions and get an estimated score plus which measure to prioritise. For the full, section-adaptive read, take a mock.

You enter your current score, your target, and the days you have, and it shows the gap, a realistic Verbal and Quant split, and the daily numbers it takes to get there. A guide, not a guarantee.
