Understanding and interpreting your GRE Scores can get a little tricky. GRE scores are associated with percentile ranks and are scored on a scale. You can take either the GRE general or the subject test. Both the tests are scored on a different GRE score scale. Every GRE score has two components – a percentile rank and a scaled score. The GRE General test is scored on a 130-170 scale in the quantitative and verbal sections. Here are the three scores that are reported on the GRE General Test:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
