Second, scores for the current Quantitative measure have tended to cluster at
the top of the scale.
Advantages of the new score scale include:
The Verbal and Quantitative means will be aligned which will allow score users
to see relative strengths for a particular candidate.
Score users will be less likely to interpret small score differences as meaningful
differences between candidates.
The new scales will help facilitate more appropriate comparisons between
candidates.
The new score scales are compatible with backend systems in most graduate
schools.
The new score scales will not be easily confused with scores from the current
General Test or the Subject Tests.
The score scale for the Analytical Writing section will continue to be 0 to 6, in halfpoint increments.
Scores will continue to be available for reporting for 5 years following the examinees
test administration.

*For tests taken beginning in September 2007, scores will be printed in the "New Score"
column and dashes will be printed in the "Original Score" column. For tests taken before
September 2007, scores will be printed in the "Original Score" column and approximate
equivalents on the new scale will be printed in the "New Score" column. These equivalents are
based on a concordance study; the full table showing the relationship between the two scales
will be posted on the GRE Web site at www.ets.org/gre.
