How is the new GRE scored? What is the general requirement for the new GRE?

The GRE General test is mainly to test the candidate's basic English ability and the breadth and depth of knowledge of English, most Chinese students take this test, the written test includes verbal, quantitative two parts, both 800 points, a total of 1600 points, the score is valid for 5 years. The GRE General test takes three hours and consists of four sections, all of which are multiple-choice questions. Two of the four-part test content are verbal and two are quantitative.

The vocabulary item takes 1 hour and contains four kinds of questions: Sentence Completion Analogy Reading Comprehension Antonyms, in which completing sentences, analogies and antonyms are all tests on the understanding of vocabulary, reading comprehension is the test candidate's understanding of the logical structure and main idea of the article, the article can involve any scientific field, but biochemistry, astronomy, literature, geography, history are the majority. The vocabulary item is mainly to test the breadth and depth of comprehension of the candidate's vocabulary, so the Chinese students score very low in this area, but this does not have a great impact on the application for scholarship funding, because ETS has a clear explanation of GRE scores: "The GRE is set for candidates whose native English is the first language, and for candidates whose native English is not the first language, whether it is Chinese, mathematics, or analysis, their vocabulary will be affected by the fact that their vocabulary is not as good as that of native English candidates."

Applicants' GRE scores should be reviewed using the examiner's experience as a criterion, and should not be subject to uniform and strict minimum admission standards. There is also a TOEFL for English language proficiency tests". Therefore, although the Chinese students' language scores are very low, they still have a good chance of receiving scholarships because of their TOEFL scores of more than 550 (American universities believe that a TOEFL score of 550 proves that the candidate's English comprehension and application ability is very high, and proves that the candidate can fully adapt to English teaching in the United States, and the average TOEFL score of American high school graduates is only 580).

The math item takes an hour and contains three kinds of questions: Quantity Comparison Separate Quantity Diagram explanation, the content involves basic problems of arithmetic, algebra, and geometry, these questions are only used in the first year of Chinese high school, and the questions are relatively easy, so most Chinese candidates can get high scores in mathematics, and quite a number of them get a perfect score of 800 points.

Go to the New Oriental Forum or the official website to have a look.

The new GRE full score is: 170 in Reading and 170 in Math as points; The minimum score for the new GRE is: 130 in Reading, 130 in Math, and 0 in Writing. The GRE total score is counted for reading and math only, and writing is counted separately.

Generally speaking, Chinese students applying for graduate school in the United States should have a total GRE score of 320, and the minimum score should be in writing.

GRE average scores on Chinese exams.

In 2015, the average GRE score for Chinese students ranked fifth in the world, behind Singapore, New Zealand, Australia and Switzerland. The average GRE score in the United States is: math, reading, and total scores.

Interestingly, almost all of the top five countries in mathematics belong to Greater China: Taiwan, which ranks second; the third is Macau; the fourth is Hong Kong; The fifth is Singapore.

Reading, in the middle and lower reaches of the world. The highest scores in this program are almost all native or bilingual English-speaking countries, such as Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Singapore, etc.

Chinese students' writing scores are average, with an average score in 2015, compared to the average score of American students in GRE writing, which is Singapore.

As you can see, Chinese candidates have an average GRE score of 312 with a score in writing. As a Chinese candidate who wants to apply to an American university, this should be considered the bottom line.

If the landlord wants to take the top 100 or 50 graduate students in the United States, it is best to score more than 320 points in the GRE to be sure

You can go to the school's official website to see the specific admission requirements, so that you can feel at ease.

During the preparation for the exam, many students have read the GRE score and have such questions: how many questions do you get and how many points?

In fact, there is no one set answer to this question.

Because of the adaptive process of the GRE test, the relationship between the number of correct questions and the final score will also vary if the second section is of different difficulty.

1. Verbal is counted

1. The same verbal got 20 questions right.

If the first section is 15 and the second is 5, then your verbal score is likely to be 155;

If the first section is 10 and the second is 10, then your verbal score is likely to be 152;

If the first section is 5 and the second is 15, then your verbal score is likely to be 148.

2.The number of questions in each section is the same, and the score may be different.

For example, I see that the first section is 8 and the second section is 6.

There are three cases: 146, 147 and 148. Amazing!

Although ETS has not been released at present, it is judged from the criteria for most students' scores:

1.The first section is 0-6, and the second section is easy;

2.The first section is 7-12, and the second section goes into medium;

3.The first section is 13-20, and the third section goes to hard.

Supplement] The first section is 7 pairs, and from the student's criterion, there are two situations, which may be easy or medium, and it depends on the difficulty coefficient of the right question. The first section is 13, and there are two situations from the student's criterion, both medium and hard.

Some students want to know how this is calculated.

What I want to tell you is that this is not an algorithm officially announced by ETS, but is roughly deduced after studying hundreds of GRE score criteria and combining with previous speculations about the scoring formula in the industry.

How to get the results

1.In the GRE dialog box, enter "number + number" to represent the number of correct questions in the first and second sections, respectively.

2.The system will automatically pop up your score, for example, enter "10+15", and the system will pop up 10+15=156.

2. Mathematics (quantitative) scoring

Since Chinese students can basically enter the second section of mathematics hard, and the overall performance of mathematics in the world is also better than that of Chinese, the mathematics score is roughly as follows:

Deducted points = number of wrong questions - 1

Example: If you get 4 questions wrong, you will be deducted about 3 points].

Generally, there is a tolerance rate of 1 question, and 1 wrong question may still be 170

The old GRE test score range was 200-800 points, with 10 points being the smallest unit. The new GRE will have a range of 130-170 Chinese and math scores, with 1 being the smallest unit. The new scoring method helps to avoid the situation of 10 points difference caused by doing one more correct question in the current exam, and makes the score calculation more accurate and reasonable.

The score range of the essay test is still 0-6, which is divided into the smallest unit.

Although the new GRE test is new, it is not necessarily difficult, and I hope to combine the preparation of the basic strength of the old GRE, and at the same time grasp the characteristics of the new question type for comprehensive preparation.

Hope the above scoring method can help you, good luck!

The new GRE full score is in the form of a full score of 340+6. 170+170+6, 170 for Chinese and Mathematics, and 6 for Composition.

The new GRE full score: 170+170+6, 170 points for Chinese and mathematics, and 6 points for composition. Here are the reasons for changing the way scoring is done.

The new GRE is scored in a way that makes it easier to compare the real-world levels of different test takers.

The minimum score range of the old GRE scoring method is 10 points, and the jump between the score values is too large, which the survey found would exaggerate the real difference between the two test takers' levels. For example, when faced with a candidate with a score of 640 and a candidate with a score of 650, the admissions officer will feel that there is a significant difference in the level of the two, but in fact the scores of the two are only one grade level apart. The new GRE scoring method has a minimum score of 1 point, which can effectively avoid this psychological illusion and more objectively reflect the real level of test takers.

The new GRE scoring method is more helpful in admissions decisions.

On the surface, it seems that the old GRE scoring method has 61 score scales, which is more accurate than the 41 score levels of the new GRE to reflect the differences between different test takers, but you only need to look at the score distribution of the GRE test to see the disadvantages of the old GRE scoring method.

For example, in the old GRE scoring method, 99% of the percentiles in the language section (i.e., the test takers who scored better than the percentile) corresponded to as many as 7 score levels (740-800), and in the new GRE scoring method, the percentiles corresponding to the score levels will be more dispersed. The top 25% of test takers in the math percentile of the old scoring system corresponded to only 9 score levels (720-800), which is not conducive to comparing the differences between the top students, and the top 25% of test takers in the new GRE will correspond to about 15 score bands.

170+170+6, 170 in Chinese and Mathematics, and 6 in Composition, I hope it can help you.

340+6 including 170 points in Chinese and Mathematics, and 6 points in composition.

340+6 in the form of a perfect score.

The landlord can go to Shangyou GRE Study Abroad Library to see, about the GRE of various materials and courses, I hope it will be helpful to you

First of all, the score of the new G and the old G is different, the old G (200-800), the raw score of half is 500, and then the calibration curve will be pulled, referring to the average score of the test at that time, up and down, and the possible score is basically between 450-550.

The new G is based on the level of the examinee, and it is divided into 2 sections. That is, 2 sections, if the former one is done well, then the latter one will be difficult. Conversely, if the former one is not done well, the latter will be simple.

Therefore, it is not that doing one book right will give half the points.

Basically, the first section is on the easy side, so if the first section is only half right, then the next one must also be simple, and if it is still half right, then the raw score must be less than 150 points.

Do you understand this explanation?

At present, the full score of the GRE test is 170+170+6, the Chinese and mathematics part has been adjusted from the original 800 points to 170 points, and the composition is still 6 points. There are two main reasons for changing the way scores are calculated: First, the minimum difference between GRE scores in the past was 10 points, which means that 630 points followed by 640 points.

Although the two seem to be very different, the difference is actually relatively small. The new scoring method has a minimum score difference of 1 point, which is more conducive to admissions officers to judge the gap between students. Second, the new scoring method is more conducive to opening up the score bracket of students. According to the analysis, although the new GRE scoring method has fewer score levels, there are fewer people corresponding to each level.

That is, it is easier to distinguish the ability level of a student by the score.

In fact, many U.S. colleges and universities do not have very specific requirements for the new GRE score, but according to past data and data analysis, students who want to apply to the top 50 U.S. colleges or universities with high professional rankings should have a GRE score of 310 or above. If you are applying for a liberal arts major, you need to get a higher GRE score. This is basically the best score for Chinese students to get on the GRE.

Students should note that even if they are applying to the same graduate school, the GRE score required varies depending on the degree of heat or cold of the major. Comparatively speaking, popular majors require higher scores. However, if your GPA score and research experience are very impressive, a slightly lower GRE score will not affect your application too much.

Colleges and universities have different requirements for GRE scores, but most institutions with the same strength have similar requirements for the GRE. If the institution you are applying to does not specify the requirements for GRE scores, you can refer to the requirements of other institutions in the same category, or check the mid-GRE scores published by the institution each year. This is more conducive to positioning your application institutions.
