GRE’s section-level adaptive design means the second Verbal and second Quantitative sections depend on performance in the first section of that measure.
Verbal and Quantitative scores are based on correct responses across the operational sections and are converted to scaled scores through equating. Analytical Writing is scored on a six-point holistic scale in half-point increments.
Official GRE scores are available in the ETS account approximately 8–10 days after the test date and are reportable for 5 years.
