关于GRE的分数要求中经常写到“ be above the 50th percentile” 这种表述代表GRE的分数应该达到多少分?

GRE Percentile 根据你和竞争者的比较得出.
官网给出解释：
The percentiles of GRE are calculated in a very simple manner.
Your individual score is compared with the scores of all the other students appearing for the test. The number of students scoring lesser than you is considered to calculate the percentile. This score literally tells you what percent of students you have scored more than.
Say if your percentile for a section is 75% it means that 75% of the test takers scored lesser than you did in that subject. And consequently 25% of the students scored more than you.
在一个单项中如果你是75%,就意味着有75%的同场考试者分数比你少,而25%的人分数比你多.
Moreover the same score does not hold the same meaning for different sections.
Say if you score 720 in the verbal section and get a percentile of 97% then it does not mean that a score of 720 in the quantitative section would also get a percentile of 97%. This percentile could be very different from 97%. The percentile score depends on how others have performed in that particular section and hence the corresponding differences occur.
即使是同一分数,在不同单项中的Percentile也不一定会相同.
Also if you retake the test it is likely that even a higher score does not get you a higher percentile. For example, if you score 720 with 85 percentile once, then it possible that scoring 740 gives you 82 percentile in another attempt. Like you have performed better others too could have performed well. For unconditional admission, the minimum percentile score in verbal section is 46 and a minimum percentile score rank of 44 is needed in the quantitative section.
同样的,同一分数,在不同场考试,Percentile也不一定会相同.一场考试题目容易的话,你考的好的同时别人可能也考的好.
所以Percentile只能是每一个单项的,官方不会对所谓“总分”计算Percentile的.这样算法减少了因为题目容易程度而造成的分数差距,会更加公正一些.总之越高越好,加油!
