What is the importance of the reasoning tests in the Graduate Record Examination (GRE)?

By spartan

 The Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning sections of the GRE are considered to be important measures of a test taker's critical thinking, analytical, and problem-solving skills. These skills are considered to be essential for success in graduate-level coursework and research.

The Verbal Reasoning section tests a test taker's ability to analyze and evaluate written material and to synthesize information from it, as well as their ability to understand the meanings of words, sentences and entire texts, and to reason with them.

The Quantitative Reasoning section tests a test taker's ability to understand, interpret and analyze quantitative information, as well as their ability to solve problems using mathematical concepts.

In addition to the verbal and quantitative reasoning sections, the GRE also includes an Analytical Writing section that measures critical thinking and analytical writing skills. The Analytical Writing section requires test takers to analyze an issue and to write an essay in response to it.

All together, the reasoning tests of the GRE are important because they measure a test taker's ability to think critically and analytically, and to solve problems, which are essential skills for success in graduate-level coursework and research. So, it's highly recommended to prepare well for the test and be familiar with the format, structure and types of questions to be presented in the test.

By Unknown
Comparative historian Marc Ferro claims that the largest discrepancy in knowledge between what academic historians and what the aver- age citizen knows about history is found in the United States. How has this situation come about? Certainly the problem does not lie with the secondary literature. Whereas in the past. American historians were handicapped by sec- ondary literature that was clearly biased towards a European viewpoint, since the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 60s. the secondary literature in American history has become far more comprehensive. And it cannot be simply a matter of space constraints; the average high school history textbook is well over a thousand pages in length. One theory holds that American history text- books are simply the socializing instruments of a controlling elite. The stratification of American society is preserved. according to this theory. by the creation of what Marx termed “false consciousness." The theory ho...
