If you’re preparing to study in the United States, you are well aware what GRE is all about. Educational Testing Service (or
GRE score is sectionalized: Before you sign-up for GRE, do know that the score is not aggregated from all the sections. This means you can’t rely on a single section alone. The sections include − Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning and Analytical Writing.
The first two sections are scored between 130-170 points. Both these sections are evaluated in single-point credits. Unlike Quantitative and Verbal Reasoning, Analytical Reasoning is scaled between 0 and 6 points.
The division of scores serves a better purpose for the universities. They can set distinct score requirements for different courses. For example, enrolling in a creative writing degree would require you to have a high score in Analytical Writing.
GRE is adaptive: The difficulty of GRE is quite peculiar. The score somewhat depends on the number of correct answers you give in each section. GRE keeps a tab on aspirant’s performance. The test throws in difficult questions as you make progress through the sections. Although it seems like a formidable challenge, it doesn’t impact your score negatively. Performing badly in the harder sections but acing the easier ones won’t bring down your score.
Five year validity of the score: GRE scores are valid for 5 years. If you’re unable to enroll yourself through GRE, do not worry, you can always try next year.
