即使对自己的复习与水平非常有信心，考生们在考场上还是会不可避免地感到紧张，越紧张于是有可能会影响到考生的正常发挥。有什么方法可以改善这一状况吗？有！对于考试流程的熟悉。本文中，啄木鸟教育编辑整理了新GRE考试的流程与时间安排，希望可以对大家的考试起到帮助作用。
Below is the actual time given for each section. Based on your experience taking practice tests and working on your speed you can adjust accordingly to answer the question: How long is the GRE for me?
Testing center check-in: 5-20 minutes（五到二十分钟时间测试中心报到）
At a bare minimum you have to sign in, the staff has to take your finger/palm print, and you have to figure out the locker experience. The minimum time for you to actually sit down at the computer screen is five minutes.
You can also have the unenviable experience of getting stuck behind a line of people, which typically has to do with the testing center's lack of efficiency. In these extreme cases you may have to wait as long as twenty minutes to actually sit down at the computer.
Filling in information: 5-15 minutes（五到十分钟时间填写个人信息）
If you are taking the GRE for the first time, you will have to enter in quite a lot of personal information (don't worry – this doesn't figure into your score!). This process may take as long as fifteen minutes.
How long is the writing section? 1 hour（一个小时的作文答题时间）
Again, if you are a fast writer you may take a little less time. However, I'm guessing 99% of test takers will use the maximum time allotted for the essays. Of course you can always find ways to cut down on your essay writing time.
How long are the verbal sections? 1 hour（一个小时的语文答题时间）
Each section is 30 minutes. The verbal sections do not follow back to back, unless the experimental section is a verbal section. I am just lumping the two verbal sections together to indicate the total time. Many students struggle with pacing on Reading comprehension.
How long are the math sections? 70 minutes（七十分钟的数学答题时间）
Same as applies to verbal section, save for the fact that each section is 35 minutes. Of course, you'll be happy here to have those precious extra 5 minutes. Here's some tips on saving time with GRE math.
Experimental section: 30 or 35 minutes（三十到三十五分钟的实验部分答题时间）
You may have noticed that each math section is five minutes longer than the verbal section. So if you end up getting a math section for an experimental section, expect to spend another five minutes in the testing center.
Timed break: 10 minutes（十分钟休息时间）
You do not need to take this break, but for a better test score—and your sanity—I highly recommend you do.
Score accept screen: 5 minutes（五分钟时间考虑是否接受这个成绩）
You have five minutes to determine whether you want to accept or reject your score. While you might be feeling the pressure here, at least you're done! Breathe!
Totals:
Checking in time: 10-25 minutes
Actually taking the GRE time: 4 hours
Therefore from the time you walk into the testing center to the time you walk out, you are looking at close to four and a half hours. Yikes! Because it's obviously so exhausting to sit through the entire test, I really recommend taking at least a couple of practice tests that simulate the real thing before test day – that means no interruptions for 4 and a half hours! Can you do it?
