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

By

 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.
