Educational Testing Service (ETS), the organization that administers the GRE, does not set "passing" scores for the GRE; these are determined by the individual schools or degree programs. ETS does, however, publish data on the overall performance of the entire group of test-takers. Based on the three most recent years for which data are available (approximately 1.7 million test-takers), the 50th percentile section scores are about 151 verbal, 152 quantitative, and 3.7 analytical writing. High verbal scores are less common than high quantitative scores. A 162, for example, is in the 90th percentile for verbal but only in the 82nd percentile for quantitative. Middle-50% scores (the 25th through the 75th percentiles) are 145-157 verbal and 146-160 quantitative. Over 80% of students score between 3.0 and 5.0 on the analytical writing section of the GRE. Most university departments report the mean or median GRE scores of students accepted to their programs, and this information is vital for applicants. GRE statistics are in most cases easily viewable on departmental websites, although there are a few institutions who decline to provide this information.

I wanted to thank you for helping me with the GRE prep and let you know that your teaching tactics worked! I took the exam yesterday and got an 800 on the math, 570 on the verbal and who knows about the writing but hopefully it's not below a 4! The verbal is tricky with those silly words but I am happy with my score and ready to walk away from this ETS madness. Thanks again and all the best!
