Do Universities see my entire GRE exam?

[Sealove00]

I'm curious, when ETS sends my GRE score report to my university, what will my university see on that report? Are they able to see the questions I missed, and my written issue and argument essays as well?

 

Thank you.

They will just see your scores and percentiles for V, Q, and AW.

Oh, they won't even receive my essays?

Nope, they won't receive your essays (and I can't imagine them taking time to read them even if they did). They only see your scores and corresponding percentiles.

My understanding was that they do see your essays, but now I can't find any official source either way.

Here is an example of a score report that the institution might receive:

All it has is the raw scores. No other information.

That's why, at least in my field and in the departments I have applied to, they do not pay much attention to scores.

According to my understanding ,percentile ranks shown on score reports are based on the performance of the current reference group for each test regardless of when the scores were earned.

In some fields the top schools have a GRE cutoff, where they toss the applications in the trash that don't meet a minimum score...  Some programs/schools also use GRE scores as a factor to determine who gets fellowships.  YMMV.

Thank you so much everyone for replying to my post.

 

OhMySocks - the GRE Score Report was good information.
