Methodology

Using the limited score data in the US News & World Reports release on graduate
schools (for engineering and education), we created a block scale that assumes a standard
difference between the ETSs 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 - 10

Intended Score Exp Difference

157

11 points

Of course, you could argue that this isnt perfect, and wed have to agree.
This is just intended to give you a general idea of what you should be aiming for.

Range

166-170

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 dont 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.

Additional Resources
Grad schools love well-prepared applicants.
