Your Score

There are three things you need to remember when it comes to your score on the Psychology Subject Test:
  1. You will receive one raw score point for each correct answer.
  2. Unanswered questions will not contribute to your raw score.
  3. There is a guessing penalty of 1/4 point for each incorrect answer. In other words, 1/4 point is subtracted from your raw score for each incorrect answer.

ETS then converts your raw score into a scaled score. The range for GRE Psychology Test scaled scores is 200 to 990, although in practice scores usually fall between 300 and 800.

You will also receive two subscores. The experimental psychology subscore is obtained from the experimental- or natural science-oriented questions. The social psychology subscore is obtained from the social- or social science-oriented questions. The questions in the general category do not contribute to any subscore, but they do contribute to your overall score.
