How does the GRE Test Adapt?įor Quant: As a rough estimate, if you get 15 or more questions correct on the first section, then the second section is a Hard difficulty level. The very first math and the very first verbal section that you get on the GRE exam are of a Medium difficulty level. First let’s look at the approximate number of questions per section for each level of difficulty. Math and verbal sections are divided into 5 levels ranging from 1 to 5. What varies is the overall weight of the section. The questions within a section do not change. Your performance on the first section will determine the difficulty level of the next section. Each section is static and the questions within a section carry equal points. GRE is based on the section adaptive algorithm. However, this does not mean that each question carries 1 point. In other words, you have 40 questions for math and 40 questions for the verbal sections and a difference of 40 points. The math and verbal sections are scored on a scale of 130-170 with a total of 20 questions on each section. On the GRE exam, there are 2 graded math sections, 2 graded verbal sections, and 2 graded analytical writing sections. But my score is a meager 154 – how is that possible?” Hence, since the GRE scoring scale is 130-170 then 130+30=160 should have been my final score. This means I got a total of 30 questions correct out of 40.
