The GRE Psychology subject test is a standardized test used in admission decisions by some graduate programs in psychology in several English-speaking countries, especially in the United States. ==Structure== There are three major components to this test: (1) Experimental, (2) Social, and (3) Other areas. The score ranges from 200 to 880, although 90% of test-takers score between 440 and 760, with 50th percentile around 615.〔(Graduate Record Examination Psychology Test Practice Book (2009). )〕 The average score on Psychology subject test is 577 at Master's level and 633 at Doctoral level.〔(An article by Norcross et al. (2006) on Psi Chi website )〕 Test Item Development The questions used for the GRE Psychology Test are written by a committee of six faculty members (many who did not know how the test was designed until they were asked to join the committee) from various colleges and universities throughout the United States. Each member writes 15-20 test items each year, as well as, many other faculty members write and submit additional items. These items are then discussed by the committee over a three-day session. During this time, the members accept, reword, or reject the submitted items from the various faculty members. After the draft of questions are assembled, the test is then given to a GRE Sensitivity Committee to screen for items that may not “represent ethnic minorities, women, people with disabilities, and other groups in a favorable light and that the items are not likely to offend anyone” (Kalat & Matlin, 2000, p. 25). Items are not put on the test as “experimental items” that will not be scored. However, point-biserial correlations and percentage of students who answered each item correctly are examined after each administration of the test.〔Kalat, J. W., & Matlin, M. W. (2000).
