GRE Exam has 3 sections and each section has its score range. So, GRE Exam Score depends largely on how you performs in the GRE CAT test format.
GRE Range
Three scores are reported on the General Test:
- Verbal Reasoning GRE Range score reported on a 200-800 score scale, in 10-point increments
- Quantitative Reasoning score reported on a 200-800 score scale, in 10-point increments
- an Analytical Writing score reported on a 0-6 score scale, in half-point increments
GRE Range – Admission
Graduate Schools will have Minimum GRE Score requirements to consider an application for admission. Some Universities are bit relaxed on this rule, but some are not. For instance, University of South Florida is strict on Minimum GRE Score requirements.
Some universities will consider higher TOEFL and Academic percentages to offset lower GRE Range. Universities usually specify the minimum GRE Score required for admission, rather GRE Range. So, while searching for Universities, look for
- “Average GRE Scores“
- “Minimum GRE Scores Required”
- “Average GRE for Graduate Programs“
Don’t spend time searching for GRE Range for a particular university for admission. Search for above terms within University website to find more accurate details. Usually Universities will not publish the GRE Score Range of admitted students.

So much of this information is totally wrong. Where do you get your info from? One, many schools publish statistical data stating the average GRE scores for each of the 3 primary GRE components for each incoming class. Secondly, many schools do not have a “minimum” GRE score requirement, only that the GRE scores must be submitted for consideration.
