Each of the three GRE sections is scored separately. You will obtain a "scaled score" within a range of 200-800 for both the math and verbal sections. For the writing section you will receive a score on a scale of 0 to 6.
As well as a scaled score, you will receive a percentile rank. This places your score relative to a large sample population of other GRE test takers. For example, if you scored in the 60th percentile then you scored higher than 60% of GRE test-takers.
As the GRE is a computerized test, you can book dates throughout the year.
The most convenient way to register for the GRE and find a testing center is with the Educational Testing Service (ETS) website at www.gre.org.
Currently it costs $140 to take the exam in the US. Outside the US the exam costs $170. ETS takes most major credit cards.
