GRE calculator

The free GRE calculator.

Four free calculators on the same engine as our full mock: turn raw questions right into an estimated scaled score, convert any scaled score into its exact official ETS percentile, work out the score you need, and run a quick readiness check. Instant results, free to start.

On test day

Can you use a calculator on the GRE?

Yes, but only on the Quantitative Reasoning sections. The GRE gives you a basic on-screen calculator built into the testing software. You cannot bring your own physical calculator, and there is no calculator on the Verbal or Analytical Writing sections.

  • Quant only

    The on-screen calculator appears on both Quantitative sections, never on Verbal or Writing.

  • Four functions plus square root

    Add, subtract, multiply, divide, and a square-root key. No scientific or graphing functions.

  • No physical calculators

    You may not bring or use your own calculator, on the test-center or at-home GRE.

  • Use it sparingly

    Most Quant rewards reasoning and estimation. Reaching for heavy calculation usually signals a faster path you missed.

How GRE scoring works

From raw answers to a percentile.

The GRE reports three numbers. Verbal and Quant are each scored 130 to 170 for a 260 to 340 total, and Analytical Writing is scored 0 to 6. See the full breakdown in our GRE scores guide or check what counts as a good GRE score.

A GRE calculator converts between the different GRE numbers: raw questions correct into an estimated scaled score (130 to 170 per section), and a scaled score into its official ETS percentile. Ours are free to use.
Verbal and Quant are each scored 130 to 170 from your raw correct answers, adjusted for the difficulty of the section-adaptive second section, for a 260 to 340 total. Analytical Writing is scored separately from 0 to 6. Use the score calculator for the scaled estimate and the percentile calculator for the rank.
Yes. Every calculator here is free to use, with an account to save your work, and they share the same scoring model and official ETS percentile data as our full-length mock tests.
The scaled score is an estimate, within about 2 points, because ETS does not publish its equating tables. The percentile a scaled score maps to is the exact official ETS figure.
Yes, but only on the Quantitative Reasoning sections. The GRE provides a basic on-screen calculator built into the testing software. You cannot bring your own physical calculator, and there is no calculator on the Verbal or Analytical Writing sections.
A simple four-function on-screen calculator with a square-root key (add, subtract, multiply, divide, square root), available on the Quant sections only. It has no scientific or graphing functions, and most questions are designed to be solved with reasoning rather than heavy calculation.

The best input is a real score.
