However, the experimental section is disguised to look like a real section-there is no way to identify it.
That means that if you could identify the experimental section, you could doodle for half an hour, guess in a random pattern, or daydream and still get exactly the same score on the GRE. Your test will also contain an experimental section-an additional Verbal Reasoning or Quantitative Reasoning section that ETS puts on the test so that ETS can normthe new questions it creates for use on future GREs. The following tables give a cross section of the percentile ranks that correspond with certain scaled scores on each section of the GRE, based on test takers between August 1, 2011, and April 30, 2014.
For instance, even if everyone got very high scaled scores, universities would still be able to differentiate candidates by their percentile scores. Percentile scores tell graduate schools just what your scaled scores are worth. Similarly, it’s impossible to score lower than 130 for Verbal Reasoning or Quantitative Reasoning.īut you don’t receive only scaled scores you also receive a percentile rank, which rates your performance relative to that of a large sample population of other GRE takers. You cannot score higher than 170 for either the Verbal Reasoning or the Quantitative Reasoning sections, no matter how hard you try. The Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning sections each yield a scaled score within a range of 130 to 170 in one-point increments. On the GRE, The Analytical Writing section is scored on a scale of 0–6 in half-point increments.
