Hi,
I want a total GRE score of 294 for the university, I want to apply for. I have just started preparing for GRE and have taken date after 15 days. I just want to know how difficult would it be to score it or should I postpone it?

Do your best tomorrow – we’re rooting for you! If you don’t get the score you need, you can always re-prep and re-take the exam. And now, you have the option of ScoreSelect, which allows you to report just one set of scores at a time: http://www.ets.org/gre/revised_general/about/scoreselect.

Try to get a good night’s rest tonight, and eat a good breakfast tomorrow. Best of luck!

I’m completely stressing. I’m a full time reading/writing teacher with 71 students, and state tests approaching quickly. I confess that I have taken the last two days off work to cram and I’m taking tomorrow as well because my test is on Saturday. Is there any hope or have I blown it? I’ve been working for seven years in the school system and finally decided to go back and get my Ph.D, but teaching full time doesn’t often afford a lot of extra time, especially with the number of students I’m responsible for. I’m incredibly worried about the math portion of the test because I tend to freak out and become frazzled over the combination of letters and numbers. Please, please, someone give me some hope. I’m desperate.

I received a 165 on Quant., 170 Verbal, and 4.5 on AWA. I would like to apply to top tier Economics programs. Do you suggest I retake?

Maverick, according to the GRE percentile ranking, 1% (or less) of test takers obtain a perfect score. Your score is excellent. I would not advise you to take the test again, especially if your application essays are well-written. Many schools do not weigh the AWA score very strongly, if at all. Others use it for a tie-breaker between equally qualified applicants.

I asked because I have 170 verbal, 169 quant and 4.0 AWA. I am applying to Stanford/Berkeley/Harvard for engineering so I was wondering if I should take GRE again to improve AWA (and possible gain back that 1 point in math)
