Each of the three sections on the GRE is scored separately. You will be given a "scaled score" within a range of 200-800 for both the quantitative and verbal sections. You will also receive a score on a scale of 0 to 6 for the writing section.
A percentile rank will be given in addition to scaled scores. Your performance will be calculated relative to those of a large sample population of other GRE takers, giving you a percentile rank. This means that if you scored higher than 60% of GRE test takers you scored in the 60th percentile.
As the GRE is a computerized test it is available throughout the year.
You register for the GRE with the Educational Testing Service (ETS). The most convenient way to find a testing center and register is online at www.gre.org.
Currently the cost to take the exam in the US $140. To take the exam outside the US the cost is $170. ETS takes most major credit cards.
