Old GRE Score (Before 2011)

The old GRE score was reported on a scale of 200 to 800, with a median score of 400. The test was divided into three sections: Verbal, Quantitative, and Analytical Writing.

New GRE Score (After 2011)

The new GRE score is reported on a scale of 130 to 170 for the Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning sections, and a scale of 0 to 6 for the Analytical Writing section. The test is also divided into three sections: Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, and Analytical Writing.

Conversion Formula

To convert your old GRE score to the new score, you can use the following formula:

Verbal Reasoning:

Old Verbal Score (200-800) x 0.25 + 40 = New Verbal Score (130-170)

Quantitative Reasoning:

Old Quantitative Score (200-800) x 0.25 + 40 = New Quantitative Score (130-170)
