The Analytical Writing section is scored between 0-6 in half-point increments, the Quantitative and Verbal Reasoning sections are scored between 130-170 points with 1-point increments. Your total GRE score is the sum of your scores from all three sections. For instance, if you score 145 on Verbal Reasoning, 150 on Quantitative Reasoning, and 4.5 on Analytical Writing, your total GRE score would be 299.5
