Answers:
The verbal section on the GRE is harder, the math section is easier (but doesn't allow the use of a calculator), and the writing section has no multiple choice questions and two essays.
Also, in terms of scoring and percentile, getting an 800 on the math section of the SAT is going to put you at the very top of the heap, but something like 8% of people who take the GRE get 800 on math (because of all the math and engineering students who take it). This is not the case with verbal.
The verbal part's considerably harder on the GRE, but I understand the math is easier.
Last I heard, GRE still had the analogies that the SAT has gotten rid of. And two essays, I think.
GRE means Graduate Record Examination. SAT means Scholastic Aptitude Test.
Their Functions are similar but not same.
The College Board says that the SAT measures critical thinking skills that are needed for academic success in college. It is claimed that the SAT assesses how well the test takers analyze and solve problems—skills they learned in school that they will need in college. The SAT is typically taken by high school juniors and seniors.
There are substantial differences in funding, curricula, grading, and difficulty among U.S. secondary schools due to American federalism, local control, and the prevalence of private, distance, and home schooled students. ACT/SAT scores are intended to supplement the secondary school record and help admission officers put local data—such as course work, grades, and class rank—in a national perspective.
the use and weight of GRE scores varies considerably not only from school to school, but from department to department, and from program to program too. Programs in liberal arts topics may only consider the applicant's verbal score to be of interest, while math and science programs may only consider quantitative ability; however, since most applicants to math, science, or engineering graduate programs all have high quantitative scores, the verbal score can become a deciding factor even in these programs. Some schools use the GRE in admissions decisions, but not in funding decisions; others use the GRE for the selection of scholarship and fellowship candidates, but not for admissions. In some cases, the GRE may be a general requirement for graduate admissions imposed by the university, while particular departments may not consider the scores at all. Graduate schools will provide information about how the GRE is considered in admissions and funding decisions, and the average scores of previously admitted students.
The SAT is a little harder than the GRE.When I first took the SAT, my score was low in the mid 1700s but then I got the sat guide from TutorFox: http://www.tutorfox.com/satguide.html... and my score went up to 2190 (800 math, 760 writing, 630 reading). I highly recommend this guide for anyone wishing to get a higher SAT score.
