As of August 2011, the GRE adopted a new scoring band for the Quantitative and Verbal sections of the exam. Instead of a 200-800 band, the exam will use a 130-170 band.
For information on score conversions, please visit: http://www.ets.org/s/gre/pdf/concordance_information.pdf
Our average scores for Fall 2011 admitted students convert as follows:
Quantitative: 780 Converts to: 163
Verbal: 590 Converts to: 159
ETS notes:
"Score users should use special care in evaluating test takers who received a Quantitative Reasoning score at the top end of the prior 200-800 score scale. Now, with the new 130-170 score scale, we can provide more differentiation for higher ability test takers. However, test takers who took the prior test and received an 800 on the Quantitative Reasoning measure, received the highest score possible that they were able to earn on the measure. Therefore, this information should be considered when making admissions decisions."
The 0-6 scale used for the Analytical section of the exam remains the same. Our average for Fall 2011 admitted students is a 4.5.
