| Results |
| | The
GRE is divided into three sections -verbal, quantitative, and analytical writing.
The score for the verbal and quantitative sections is between 200-800 points each.
The score for the analytical writing section is between 1-6 points. You can see
the results of the verbal and quantitative sections immediately after completing
the GRE. If you have typed the analytical writing portion, your scores will be
sent to your designated schools in 2-3 weeks. If you have written the analytical
writing portion in long hand, it may take up to six weeks for your scores to be
sent to your designated schools. Please schedule the GRE so that the score will
be sent to OSU before the application deadline. You may re-take the GRE once per
calendar month. | |
