18. Methodology
¬
Using the limited score data in the US News & World Report’s release on graduate
schools (for engineering and education), we created a block scale that assumes a standard
difference between the ETS’s average of intended applicants of a specific major and the rank
block (ie Ranks 1-10, 11-50, 51-100). Next we added the expected difference to the average
score of the intended major and spread 2 points on either side of that to create a nice range.
It would look like this:
Program
Rank
Rank Block
English
1
#1 - 10
Intended Score Exp Difference
157
11 points
Of course, you could argue that this isn’t perfect, and we’d have to agree.
This is just intended to give you a general idea of what you should be aiming for.
Range
166-170

19. Improving your score
Performing well on the GRE usually requires a
good study strategy and lots of practice.
Magoosh GRE allows you to customize
your study schedule and access your
lessons, practice quizzes, personalized
support, and progress statistics from any
device with an internet connection.
But don’t take our word for it - check out what
Magoosh GRE Students have to say:
“Magoosh helped me tremendously - especially
with the math, much of which I had to learn for
the first time. But thanks to the thoroughness of
the lessons and reviews, I did so much better than
I would have otherwise, and a lot more than the
average 5-ish point improvement that typical
Magoosh users get.”
