What is a good GRE score?

GRE scores by intended graduate field

These are college seniors and graduates not enrolled in college who tested from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025. ETS’s more detailed table splits them further: computer and information sciences averaged 151 in Verbal and 162 in Quant, mathematics and statistics 154 and 165, and psychology 152 and 149.

Is there a passing score on the GRE?

No. You can’t pass or fail the GRE. Each program decides how to use scores. ETS tells schools that using a minimum GRE score as the only reason to admit or reject someone isn’t good practice, and it urges them to publish the range of their middle 50% of admitted students rather than an average or a minimum. If a program lists a minimum GRE score, that’s the program’s own rule.

Is 310 a good GRE score?

ETS doesn’t label scores high, low or competitive, but its percentile table tells you where a score stands. Some examples, with Verbal and Quant split evenly (the totals are our own sums, not ETS scores):

Set those against the field table and your programs’ published ranges to decide what a good GRE score is for you.

GRE scores for grad school, law school and business school

For law schools, ETS offers a GRE Comparison Tool that estimates an LSAT score from your Verbal and Quant scores. ETS doesn’t publish score guidance for particular programs such as PA school, so check each program’s admissions page.
