UPenn GRE Scores
¬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 Intended Score Exp Difference Range
English 1 #1 - 10 157 11 points 166-170
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.

“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.”
