Table 4B presents Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning and Analytical Writing data for seniors and nonenrolled college graduates who stated that they intended to do graduate work in one of approximately 300 major
fields. The score data are summarized by the 300 graduate major field categories so that applicants can be compared to others likely to be most similar to them in educational goals. To view score data summarized by the 51
broad major fields (Table 4A), see www.ets.org/s/gre/pdf/gre_table4A.pdf.
