How are the Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning sections of the GRE revised General Test scored?
Computer-based Test: • Verbal and Quantitative Reasoning scores depend on the test-taker’s performance on the questions given and on the number of questions answered in the time allotted. • Both sections are section-level adaptive, meaning that the first section of the Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning measures span a range of difficulty levels, from easy to difficult. The first section is assembled such that, overall, the first section is of average difficulty. The second section of each of the measures is administered based on a test-taker’s overall performance on the first section. Paper-based Test: Scoring of the Verbal and Quantitative sections of the paper-based General Test is a two-step process: • First, a raw score is computed. The raw score is the number of questions the test taker answered correctly. • The raw score is then converted to a scaled score through a process known as equating. Equating accounts for differences in difficulty among the different test editi
