*These percentile ranks are based on the concordance
relationships between the prior 200–800 score scale to
scores on the new 130–170 score scale. They are being
used to provide stable and comparable interpretative
information for scores on both scales.
The cohort groups upon which these percentile ranks were
based were examinees who took the prior format GRE
General Test between July 1, 2007, and June 30, 2010.
Within that group there were:
• 1,513,019 examines with scores on the Verbal
Reasoning measure.
• 1,513,288 examinees with scores on the Quantitative
Reasoning measure.
• 1,504,127 examinees with scores on the Analytical
Writing measure
These numbers remove all examinees who earned NS
because no questions were answered.
The gender breakdown of this group was:
• 41% men
• 55% women
• 4% did not provide any classification
Means and standard deviations for the measures on the
new score scale are not available.
