As you pointed out, the highest score possible on each to the three general sections of the GRE and on an advanced test is 800. Most graduate schools combine the quantitative and verbal scores and match this against a required minimum. So the highest possible under this scheme is 1600. A GRE combined quantitative and verbal score of 1000 is a very common requirement among US graduate schools. -- Richard L Shelby Dept of Health Services Univ of Kentucky rshelby@ms.uky.edu rshelby@ukma.BITNET {rutgers,uunet}!ukma!rshelby You're never too old to have a happy childhood.
