How are the sections of the General Test scored?
Your scores on the verbal and quantitative sections of the computer-based General Test depend on your performance on the questions given and on the number of questions answered in the time allotted. Because both of these sections are computer-adaptive, the questions presented are selected to reflect your performance on preceding questions and the requirements of the test design.
Your scores on the Verbal and Quantitative sections of the computer-based General Test depend on your performance on the questions that you’ve already seen. The computer-based GRE is a computer adaptive test, which means that the difficulty of each question is based on your progress so far. The questions that you are presented is based on the the statistical characteristics of the questions already answered, the required variety of question types, and the appropriate coverage of content. The paper-based general test is not adaptive. All of these factors are used to determine your final score. The scoring of the Analytical Writing section is the same whether the test is taken on computer or paper. Each essay receives a score from two trained readers, using a 6-point scale. Readers are trained to assign scores on the basis of the overall quality of an essay in response to the assigned task. If the two assigned scores differ by more than one point on the scale, the discrepancy is adjudica
Note: In October 2008, the GRE Program implemented e-rater scoring technology in the scoring process for the computer-based GRE Analytical Writing section. E-rater is a computerized natural language-processing program developed by ETS.

Your scores on the verbal and quantitative sections of the computer-based General Test depend on your performance on the questions given and on the number of questions answered in the time allotted. Because both of these sections are computer adaptive, the questions presented are selected to reflect your performance on preceding questions and the requirements of the test design. Test design factors that influence which questions are presented to you include (1) the statistical characteristics (including difficulty level) of the questions already answered, (2) the required variety of question types, and (3) the appropriate coverage of content. For the verbal and quantitative sections of the paper-based General Test’ a raw score is computed. The raw score is the number of questions for which the best answer choice was given. The raw score is then converted to a scaled score through a process known as equating. The equating process accounts for differences in difficulty among the differen
