* For the Issue task, two essay topics will be presented and you will choose one. The Argument task does not present a choice of topics; instead one topic will be presented.

** An unidentified verbal or quantitative pretest section may be included and may appear in any order after the analytical writing section. It is not counted as part of your score.

*** An identified research section that is not scored may be included and it will always be at the end of the test.

Three scores are reported on the General Test:

• a verbal score reported on a 200-800 score scale, in 10-point increments
• a quantitative score reported on a 200-800 score scale, in 10-point increments, and
• an analytical writing score reported on a 0-6 score scale, in half-point increments.

If you answer no questions at all in a section (verbal, quantitative, or analytical writing), that section will be reported as a No Score (NS).
