No, GRE score calculators only give you an overview of your score. There is nothing to do with official GRE scoring process with calculators. The ETS uses adaptive algorithms and equating methods that are not publicly released. On the other hand, GRE calculators give you a reliable estimate, this will help you to be prepare for upcoming goals.
