Once you have taken each Diagnostic, you will see your score on-screen, and you will also get an email with your score and recommendations for next steps. You can read more about the formats of both sections on this blog or in the ETS GRE Official Guide. Verbal also has some questions that will look similar to past tests or coursework you’ve done (Reading Comprehension), but the way it tests logic, Sentence Equivalence, and Text Completions are pretty unique. and Multiple Answer (more than one multiple-choice answer can be correct).Quantitative Comparison (determining which quantity of two is bigger).Numeric Entry (you enter your own answer).Problem Solving questions (multiple choice).If one side is 3 and one side is 5, call the third side x.The Magoosh GRE Diagnostic: Verbal What You Need to Know about GRE Diagnostic QuizzesĪs mentioned above, it’s important to become familiar with the question types before attempting a diagnostic. The sum of any two sides is greater than the third. Keep in mind that the altitude divides the triangle into two little right triangles, so the Pythagorean Theorem (below) may be involved in finding some of the necessary lengths. If a GRE geometry question ask for the area of the triangle, it will provide a way to find at least one base and the corresponding height. Now, of course, the GRE is unlikely to give you all that information, three side lengths and three altitudes, in the course of a geometry problem. Thus, for any triangle, we potentially have three different b & h combinations that would allow us to calculate the area. An altitude is a line that passes through a vertex and is perpendicular to the side we are considering the base. Similarly, the letter h is height: by “height,” we mean the length of a segment known as an altitude. In fact, any of the three sides can be the base. The letter b stands for the base: what’s the base of a triangle? Naïvely, folks will say the “bottom,” the horizontal side, is the base, but that’s not the whole story. There’s more to that simple formula than means the eye. If two lines intersect, the sum of the resulting four angles equals 360.A straight line is made up of 180 degrees.A right angle is made up of 90 degrees.Bookmark this page, and read on for more in-depth explanations of each geometry formula. Need to see the key geometry formulas in one place? You’re in luck! Here’s a list of geometry formulas you’ll need on test day.

This list is by no means exhaustive, but for must-know concepts you’ve come to the right place. Below are the GRE geometry rules and geometry formulas you have to know. That doesn’t mean that the GRE is void of geometry. Well, if you are taking the GRE, you were by no means mistaken-proofs and indeed all of trig are nowhere to be found on GRE math. Perhaps you recall with more than a little dread your high school geometry class: fifteen-step proofs and the law of cosines were two things you were certain you’d never see again.
