According to the Educational Testing Service,
the nonprofit organization that designs and administers the GRE, the mean verbal
reasoning score among all GRE test-takers between July 1, 2014 and June 30,
2017 was 150.05. Meanwhile, the mean quantitative score was 152.80 and the mean
analytical writing score was 3.5.
Experts say that math-heavy grad programs tend
to desire students with high quantitative scores and put less emphasis on
verbal scores. In contrast, grad programs in humanities subjects typically want
students with high verbal scores. Applicants to math-intensive grad programs
should understand that their quantitative GRE score will be scrutinized, so
they should study hard for the quantitative section of the GRE exam.
The average GRE scores among MIT engineering
Ph.D. students entering in fall 2017 were a 161 out of 170 on the verbal
section, a 4.4 out of 6 on the writing section and a 167 out of 170 on the
quantitative section. Grad school applicants should take the GRE seriously and
prep for the exam thoroughly. However, GRE test-takers who do not perform as
well as they hoped should not automatically assume that a low score will
prevent them from attending grad school.
Experts say that grad school applicants with
subpar test scores can sometimes compensate by writing compelling admissions
essays and submitting a strong resume. But writing such SOP might need guidance

Good luck to your test!
