So it seems like scores get out on Monday, the 24th. Good luck to everyone. Anyone know what time they'll be out?

Yupp! It was an automated email that said my scores are now available online.

The time of when they inform you through email and when you can see it on your account don't exactly match. In fact the difference was one day for the general GRE score.

I got my September PGRE scores pretty much exactly at midnight, but the email didn't come until the morning.

Theoretically it's 24 November 12:00 AM Eastern time (GMT-5). But practically it can be a little bit late (5-30 minutes).

Mygre page says that the scores of physics gre of 25th october has been reported to the 4 institutions today, i.e. 22/11/2014. Is there a possibility of score being released earlier?

Yeah I'm seeing the same thing. I guess previously at this point in time you could have called, but our only option right now would be to wait until Monday...

This is my 2nd PGRE, so my answer is depending on my previous experience. The answer is 'NO'.

Your PGRE score is "ready" exactly 4 weeks from the test date, so, it is ready this Saturday. So ETS will send it to your chosen recipients. Although ETS says "socre will be sent in 6 weeks", it is actually sent in 4 weeks.

Now till last year, there was an option, "Score by phone". With that you could call a particular phone number and enter a credit card number with the keypad and hear your score on the Saturday. The idea was "Get score 48 hours earlier and in exchange of 12 bucks". That Score by phone is no longer offered, but ETS kept its date of reporting and showing scores like before.

Hope you can have patience ~42 hours (from now). Good luck.

For once, being in CT zone helps (saves me 1 hr of sleep). I can't wait to find out my PGRE score tonight. 1st and last time I'm ever taking this exam.

Personally, my scores came at around 12:30 AM EST, but that night I had friends getting scores earlier, so they don't even release all of the scores at once. Most stressful 30 minutes ever XD

Got a 990. I have no idea how. I suppose it was a hard version and a 82 raw score was good enough. Left 3 blank and got at least 10 questions wrong!

Got a 900 (85%). Could have been better, but I'm mostly relieved to barely cut the 900-mark, since I didn't even break the 80th percentile on any of the practice tests. Phew!

As for raw score estimate, I have no clue how many I got wrong, but I left around 10 blank, and guessed on about a good 7-9 problems.

Holy crap... hit the 990 (94%). I was not expecting that.

Just for context, this is after 2 years of grad school, then 2 years of working and not doing much physics. I spent a lot of time prepping, and I guess I brushed the rust off better than I thought.

If you are still waiting, try logging out and logging back in. It worked for me (unless it was some weird coincidence).

Shetty: If you're domestic than yes it easily is. I don't know about internationals, but a 950 is an amazing score that will certainly not disqualify you anywhere.

950 is a terrible score and you should be ashamed. :wink:

Logging out and logging back in worked for me too. My score jumped from a 690 in September to 800. It's amazing how much being familiar with the format of the test helps. Also I found the October test easier which seems to contradict most people's opinions, perhaps it suited my knowledge better than the September test.

Hi,
I'm an Electrical Engineering major but applying for Applied Physics PhD program.

I just got my score back and I got a 840 (%77).

Can anyone help me interpret if this is good enough to include in my applications? (considering the test is "recommended" for most schools rather than "required")

Thanks
