GRE Score Calculator — Combine GRE Verbal and Quantitative scores, include Analytical Writing, and compare your result with a target score.
The GRE General Test reports Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning from 130 to 170. Their sum produces the combined score from 260 to 340. Analytical Writing is reported separately from 0 to 6 in half-point increments.
Combined GRE score = Verbal score + Quantitative score
A Verbal score of 155 and Quantitative score of 158 produce a combined GRE score of 313. An Analytical Writing score of 4.0 remains separate.
No. The combined 260–340 score uses only Verbal and Quantitative Reasoning.
No. Official raw-to-scaled conversions depend on the test form and ETS scoring.
Yes. The result shows how many points you are above or below your selected target.
The GRE Score Calculator is most useful when you enter scaled scores from a recent full-length practice test. Compare Verbal and Quantitative Reasoning separately before focusing on the combined number. A balanced score can help reveal whether additional vocabulary practice, reading comprehension work, algebra review, or data-analysis practice deserves more attention.
For a realistic study plan, record several practice results instead of relying on one attempt. Calculate the combined score after each test, note the difference from your target, and look for a consistent trend. Small changes in either section affect the combined result point for point. For example, improving Verbal from 154 to 158 adds four points to the same total even when Quantitative stays unchanged.
This GRE Score Calculator does not estimate an official percentile because percentiles can change as testing populations and published tables are updated. Programs also evaluate scores differently. Compare your results with the current admissions information for the schools and programs you are considering. For official policies, score reporting, and current test information, visit the ETS GRE website.
You can also compare graduate-school costs with our College Cost Calculator, organize study sessions with the Study Schedule Calculator, or compare another admissions exam using the GMAT Score Calculator.
A negative target difference shows how many combined points remain between the entered result and the target. A positive number shows how far the score is above the target. Treat this as a planning measurement rather than an admissions prediction. The calculator cannot account for undergraduate grades, experience, recommendations, essays, program selectivity, or other application factors.
Recalculate after each practice test under realistic timing conditions. If one section is consistently stronger, divide study time according to the weakest question types while maintaining the stronger section. The GRE Score Calculator provides a clear, repeatable way to monitor that progress.
GRE Score Calculator preparation checklist
Before calculating, confirm that both section values use the official 130–170 scale and come from the same practice test. Keep Analytical Writing separate, choose a realistic target, and save each result with the test date. Review incorrect answers, timing pressure, and question categories before the next attempt. A score trend across several tests is more informative than one unusually high or low result, and it gives you a stronger basis for adjusting weekly study priorities.
