How are the GRE Scores (General) Calculated?

1. Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning Measures

For the Quantitative and Verbal Reasoning Test, a raw score is calculated based on the right responses to each question. The raw GRE Scores are then converted to a complete score through an equating process. 

2. Analytical Writing Measure

In addition to this, a computer program (e-rater) developed by the ETS evaluates essays in the areas such as critical thinking, grammar, punctuation and sentence structure. When the e-rater score and the human score closely agree, the mean of both scores is considered the final score.
