Should I Retake the General?
Posted: Sat Nov 28, 2015 4:45 pm
I am finishing up applications now and aside from my standardized test scores, everything looks really good. I have a 4.0 for my majors (physics and math) and a 3.962 overall (Liberal Arts College). My pGRE is a 770 which isn't good, but there isn't anything I can do about that. My General GRE is also pretty bad (verbal 74% and math 83%). I know that if I take it again (December 7th) it will be a lot better, but that's getting close to deadline time. I could submit all of my applications now, but on the other hand, I could retake these tests and still get them in before the deadlines (~Jan 15). Is it worth retaking or submitting this test or should I go ahead and submit my applications today? I'm just looking for advice; I know that there is no actual answer to this. Thanks for your time.
