For the quantitative and verbal reasoning assessments of the GRE revised
General test, the scores range from 130 to 170 points. For the analytic
writing section, scores range from 0.0 to 6.0, in half-point increments.
There are two verbal and two math sections on the GRE revised General
test. The first of both sections is not computer adaptive, but the difficulty
of questions that you'll be given for the second section is dependent on
how well you did on the first section. The essay section of the GRE is
composed on the computer, but both writing tasks are graded by trained
readers.

than 160 countries. In Pakistan GRE test centres are available in Karachi,

test year round at most locations around the world and as a paperdelivered test up to three times a year in areas where computer-delivered
