Scoring
As you learned in the introduction, you will receive a score between 200
and 800 on the Math section. The scores vary in 10-point increments, so all
scores end in 0. Since the GRE is a computer-adaptive test, the computer
calculates your score as you proceed through the section, taking into account
not only right and wrong answers but also the level of difficulty of each
question you answer. The way the computer actually arrives at your score is
fairly complex. Suffice it to say that as the CAT program adjusts the questions
it presents to you based on your performance, it homes in on your ability level
until the end of the section when its assessment of your math prowess is
complete. You will receive an unofficial score right there on the screen at the
end of the test. Official scores will be mailed to you later.
