    It depends on the college you are applying for and the percentile ranking of other test-takers. 500+ is generally what you want to aim for. Below is an excerpt of the GRE Score Report:

    The GRE* score report will contain a scaled score within a range of 200-800 for the verbal and quantitative sections. In addition, you will receive a score on a scale of 0 to 6 for the writing section. All scaled scores will be accompanied by a corresponding percentile ranking. The percentile rankings allow schools to quickly judge your performance relative to other test takers.
