How will institutions compare scores on the GRE General Test administered prior to August with scores on GRE revised General Test?
Since GRE scores are valid for five years, it is likely that schools will receive applications with one of three score scenarios: scores based on the new score scale, scores based on the prior scale and scores based on both scales. As part of the transition effort, the GRE program is providing institutions with concordance information to help bridge scores from the previous score scale (200 – 800) to the revised score scale (130 – 170). The concordance information is designed to help institutions compare scores on the GRE General Test administered prior to August 2011 with scores received on the GRE revised General Test. This new information will be available to institutions in November 2011 after the completion of statistical analyses required for transition to the new score scale. Concordance information will also be included on your GRE revised General Test score report. See a sample score report.
