The GRE Quantitative section consists of High School math in which Nepali students usually score quite well.

The GRE Verbal has 4 question types based on correlating between words and concepts, between different component parts of sentences and synthesizing information from the written text.
 
         
    Test Details    
         
   
The term ‘Computer Based’ is nothing to be scared of. The computer skills that you will need are minimal.

The term ‘Computer Adaptive’ means that there are three types of questions in the software that administers the test. These types are ‘easy’, ‘medium’ and ‘difficult’. The test always starts of with an easy question and if you get that right it throws a medium level question at you. If you get the medium level question right it will give you a difficult question. For every wrong answer, you go down a rung in the hierarchy. The difficult questions that the software gives you have the highest scores while the easy questions having the lowest score. Thus, getting a lot of difficult questions right will definitely get you a high score.
