Both sections are section-level adaptive, meaning that the first section of the Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning measures span a range of difficulty levels, from easy to difficult. The first section is assembled such that, overall, the first section is of average difficulty. The second section of each of the measures is administered based on a test-taker's overall performance on the first section. Paper-based Test: Scoring of the Verbal and Quantitative sections of the paper-based General Test is a two-step process: First, a raw score is computed. The raw score is the number of questions the test taker answered correctly. The raw score is then converted to a scaled score through a process known as equating. Equating accounts for differences in difficulty among the different test editions. Thus, a given scaled score reflects approximately the same level of ability regardless of the edition of the test that was taken. For any further questions and the same answer I have given you today, please visit http://www.ets.org/gre/revised_general/faq I hope that I have answered your question thoroughly and explanitorily.

Either you answer the problem perfectly, or you get no credit at all. For example, let's say you do a Sentence Equivalence question that has a correct answer of A and C. If you answer A and D, you get no credit at all for the problem. So, it is an all-or-nothing format, and if you miss any part of a multiple answer question, the whole thing is wrong. I hope that helps. Thanks! Hey R A,
