SUMMARY

The official GRE test provides immediate scores for the Quantitative and Verbal sections upon completion, similar to the practice tests offered by ETS. However, test-takers must wait for their Analytical Writing scores, which are not available immediately. The official score report includes these three sections, detailing the performance relative to previous test-takers. Understanding this process is crucial for GRE candidates to manage their expectations regarding score reporting.

My question is about the general GRE test.

On the practice tests provided by ETS, you see your score immediately after the test has ended. Is this how it is at the real test? It seems like the computer could grade your test immediately, since it is merely comparing your score to previous test takers. If this is the case, what information is included in you official score report?

Yes, you will receive your score for Quantitative and Verbal immediately after you take the test.

Of course, will have to wait for you score for the writing section.
