What is GRE?
The GRE (Graduate Record Exam) is required for admission to U.S. and Canadian graduate schools. Most students attend graduate school for a master or doctoral degree programs. The GRE exam does not assess any specific knowledge in certain subject rather it measures the "mental intelligence" as well as the ability to make decision under time pressure.
GRE Experimental Section
In addition to the three scored sections namely: Verbal, Quantitative and AWA, there may be one 'experimental' section that looks like one of the scored sections; but does not count toward your score. ETS uses the experimental section to pre-test the questions that will show up on the scored sections of future GRE exams. It looks just like one of the scored sections, so you won't be able to identify it. Never try to identify this section; it can be Extremely Costly as it will only kill your very precious time.
GRE Research Section
Some other students have also received research sections instead. The research sections are clearly marked out, and usually involve a bit of money to be earned (if you perform creditably). It is research section for which you bid for US$ 200.00. This one too doesn't count toward your score. If you solve the research section, then the performance in this section will not affect your official score and vice-versa is also true.

New Question Types in November 2007
Beginning in November 2007, two new question types will be included in the Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning sections of the Computer-Based GRE® General Test. Test takers may see ONE new Verbal question or ONE new Quantitative question or no new questions at all. No test taker will receive more than ONE new question. The new question types are part of the first phase of the General Test improvements that will be introduced gradually over time.
The new question types have been through extensive field trials, and the results indicate that they are functioning as intended. The GRE Program will begin counting these question types toward examinee scores as soon as an adequate sample of data from the operational testing environment is available.
