Score Interpretation of GRE analytical writing section

The Analytical Writing scores range from 0 to 6, in half-point increments. The Analytical Writing measure consists of two essay tasks—Issue and Argument—and the reported score is the average of a test taker’s scores for the two essays. If an essay response is provided for only one of the two

writing tasks, the task for which no essay response is provided will receive a score of zero. If no essay response is given for both tasks, an NS (No Score) is reported.

A single combined score is reported for GRE analytical writing, though it consists of two essay tasks because it is more reliable than is a score for either task alone. The test assesses "analytical writing," so critical thinking skills (the ability to reason, assemble evidence to develop a position and communicate complex ideas) are assessed along with the writer's control of grammar and the mechanics of writing.

Scores 6 and 5.5

Sustains insightful, in-depth analysis of complex ideas; develops and supports main points with logically compelling reasons and/or highly persuasive examples; is well focused and well organized; skillfully uses sentence variety and precise vocabulary to convey meaning effectively; demonstrates superior facility with sentence structure and usage, but may have minor errors that do not interfere with meaning.
