<p>S2 just took the new GRE over the weekend. He told me Q 750-800, V 700-800. EE major. It appear the range posted so far do differ. How it translate to new score will be interesting. He prepared the test sporadically with 2 books over summer and some review during Fall semester.</p>
<p>@Momwaitingfornew: Thank you very much for your advice. I am working on my CV and SoP now. Hope these could help.</p>
<p>@Chandi: The subject tests are offered on very few dates (3 or so) every year, unlike the general GRE tests which you can take any month. So, the seats fill up sooner. Hence the late fee a month before the exam- Im assuming.</p>
<p>It will be interesting to see how the ranges pan out. My daughter just took the GRE for the second time (first time in the new format). She was terribly disappointed with her scores last summer, but did what she expected this time. Her ranges were: 760-800 verbal and 690-750 quant. The low end, coincidentally, is identical to her SAT score. More to the point, she is done with standardized tests, a chore she’s always despised. She believes her test scores won’t keep her out of any particular grad school, which was a concern in August.</p>
<p>Yeah, I ended up not taking it instead. None of the schools I’m interested in actually require it anyway and some explicitly state that they don’t want it, so what’s the point?</p>
<p>I’m currently in the process of applying to graduate school (PhD Biology). I took the biology subject GRE earlier this year (with no preparation) and I scored 680, 57% percentile. I was wondering if this score is even worth reporting to schools?</p>
<p>i am applying to both m.a. and phd programs in gender and women’s studies. so basically, small, interdisciplinary programs that are competitive but flexible at places like emory, osu, indiana and minnesota.</p>
<p>gre scores:
writing-5.5 (96%)
reading-160 (85%)
math-153 (65%)</p>
<p>thoughts?</p>
<p>I am applying to MS programs in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering.</p>
<p>GRE Scores:</p>
<p>Writing - 4.0 (48%)
Reading - 158 (79%)
Math - 159 (82%)</p>
<p>what do you think?</p>
<p>S2, applying to EE - MS (study 2 books on and off during summer and Fall semester). Test date Oct 2011. 1st time will not take it again, good enough.</p>
<p>Quantitative - 165; 93%(750-800) accurate prediction
Verbal - 163; 93% (700-800) not accurate prediction
Writing - 4.5; 72%</p>
<p>I’m an international applicant and have planned to apply for PhD of chem. eng. my GRE score : Q:158 (79%) V: 142(18%) AW: 3(11%) . based on your experience which university I have the best chance for PhD?</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>@Lost314 – I think you should retake the GRE. The scores all seem non-competitive, even for lower-ranked schools.</p>
<p>Just took the GRE today, obviously don’t know the full grade report yet but the initial raw scores they gave me were</p>
<p>Verbal- 167
Quantitative- 151</p>
<p>I am applying to International Affairs and Economics programs for Grad School, do these seem like fairly solid scores? Wondering if I should retake.</p>
<p>AbsoluteIrish, I got a similar score to yours and I am applying for international affairs programs. I personally feel, because of the econ element, you (and I) probably need better quant scores. I am applying anyway though! I took some quantitative courses (stats, econ) after I finished undergrad, and I did well on those. If you have done something similar, go for it. It could balance out the low GRE score.</p>
<p>I just took the GRE and got 160 Q and 152 V. How is that? I am applying to some stat based programs and some national security studies type programs. Should I be satisfied?</p>
<p>I’m wondering I need to retake the GRE.
I got a 167 V (98%), 160 Q (84%), 5.0 W (87%). I’m applying to econ PhD programs at a variety of different places (some of which are rather competitive), and I haven’t submitted my GRE scores yet.</p>
<p>I am very worried about my GRE scores. I got a 167V (98%) 159Q (82%) 4.5W (72%). My writing score is what puzzles me the most because I know I am a great writer 
My GPA is 3.91, would these scores be good enough for a top10 poli sci program? I know that the writing sample, personal statement, and letters of recc are very important too, but just judging by my scores do I have any hope?</p>
<p>Applying as a MS in Computer Science. -.-</p>
<p>163Q (88%) / 162V (90%) / 6.0W (99%)</p>
<p>Hello, I have been taking GRE practice exams, and will be taking the GRE on Wednesday. I have been scoring 162(~775)-167(~800+) on the Quantitative, and my verbal has increased from a 151(~470) to a 160(~600). </p>
<p>I am pretty sure I can boost my vocabulary up and be in the 163-166(~650-700) range, but I do not write fast enough. My average essay scores on a time limit are a 3. Without a time limit I get higher scores (4.5’s), but I know that when the test comes I will not have that luxury. For this reason, I am strongly considering not doing the essays and explaining my reasoning in my SOP.</p>
<p>I have never been able to write fast, but I do write well. On a good day, I can write 500 words/hour, but to write 400-750 words in 30 minutes, with no previous research, seems impossible to me. I am currently working on research with a professor, and he says he would like to get one of my papers published. I have consistently led research during my undergraduate degree, and usually edit other student’s writing. I graduated with 3.71, and have been the Calculus II tutor at my school for the last 3 years. </p>
<p>Do you think I should skip the writing section or go for it? I am going for a PhD in Environmental Engineering.</p>
<p>My advice is to NOT skip the AW portion. The graduate admissions office generally requires a full set of GRE scores for admission. The program admissions committee is unlikely to put much, if any, weight on the AW score. By taking the section, you will qualify yourself to attend the university and are unlikely to hurt your chances at the program itself.</p>
<p>I also recommend looking into what ETS looks for in the AW section. Keep in mind that the writing, although important, is secondary to the nuanced thinking, complexity, and logic that you exhibit. Since the section is at least in part (if not wholly, by now) computer graded, know the key words to use.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
