How It's Scored
The GRE has three sections: Verbal Reasoning (130-170), Quantitative Reasoning (130-170), and Analytical Writing (0-6). The Verbal and Quant scores are based on the number of correct answers, adjusted for question difficulty. The writing score is holistically assessed by trained raters.
