Questions
GRE with FluentWin
Is the shorter GRE format the one FluentWin uses?
Yes. Practice tests follow the format in place since September 2023: one Issue essay and two sections each of Verbal and Quant.
Are wrong answers penalised?
Not on the GRE, and not in FluentWin. Your score comes from the questions you answer correctly, so it pays to answer every question.
