That's sad, but thank you!Yes, that's right. You get to score only if you pick all the correct answers in such questions. There are no points for picking partially correct answer choices.
BTW, I just read at another forum that old score Q800 was converted to Q166 (out of 170).
No, 170 is the highest quant score. The thing is that it corresponds probably to 99% percentile, but old Q800 was only 94%.I also don't understand why 170 isn't the highest Quant score possible in Revised GRE ! A score of 720 in Verbal section old GRE corresponds to 168 according to revised GRE scale.

And that's the intention of the new exam. The old exam has gotten to the point where getting 800Q is very easy. Now I guess programs can rely on GRE again to filter applicants for themBut it looks like getting the full Q170 is much harder now than scoring Q800 used to be.
So, Andy, you think now Q170 is needed to get to the top MFE programs?And that's the intention of the new exam. The old exam has gotten to the point where getting 800Q is very easy. Now I guess programs can rely on GRE again to filter applicants for them
I thought it would be easier with the new test format, but it turned out to be much harder
Looks like people are getting lower scores.
But it looks like getting the full Q170 is much harder now than scoring Q800 used to be. Now the range Q166-170 translates into old Q800.
