Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good GRE score for graduate school?
A good GRE score depends on your target program. For top 50 programs, aim for 320+ (Verbal + Quant). For STEM fields, Quant scores of 165+ are often expected. For humanities, Verbal scores of 160+ are more important.
How is the GRE scored?
The GRE has three sections: Verbal Reasoning (130-170), Quantitative Reasoning (130-170), and Analytical Writing (0-6). The total score ranges from 260-340 for Verbal and Quant combined.
Should I retake the GRE?
Consider retaking if your score is below your target program's average, you had test-day issues, or your practice scores were significantly higher. Most schools consider your highest scores.
How long should I study for the GRE?
Most students study 1-3 months, dedicating 10-15 hours per week. If you're far from your target score, plan for 3-6 months of preparation.
