The second section was the Research section. You need to upload the reports of the third quantitative section. I'm sure you have got a hard/medium section because you got fifteen right on the first section

Please, could you post the first section quant and verbal with a complete screenshot AND the second section quant verbal with a FULL screenshot ??

above are messed up and snip off out.

So we can FULLY understand your official score and where are the problems.

Thank you so much

Your quant section should look like this

IF you got 15 questions right in the first section you CANNOT have a medium of 1.6 (on average) of questions in term of difficulty for the second one because with 15 questions right you MUST have a hard section not medium not easy but hard.

A medium section is around 3 or 3.25 in difficulty. Hard must be at least 3.8 >

Hi,

Thank you for sending us the report. That is really odd: in the first section which is medium, you get 15 correct.

However, the second section is easy with an average of 1.6.

First time I hear this on the GRE.

I will ask experts. Will see what is going on.

You have to sum the level of difficulty of each question (1 through 5) and then the sum divide by 20. The average, actually.
