If you go to the webpage of Berekely, they said according to their experiences, students whose score below 80% are hard to succeed in their program. Of course, this figure is much lower than their expected score.
Even UPenn has an average of 860 this year, you can guess the averages of other better universities. (I am not saying UPenn is not a good university.)
If you go to the webpage of Minnesota, they show a statistics of the GRE score of the admitted students some years ago. There was a guy who had only 450 (!) on GRE subject test, but still admitted. However, in that year, other admitted students had quite high scores, at least 780 or above.
So, what I am going to say is graduate schools do not have a clear cut boundaries to define low or high. It all depends on your overall stuff. (the reputation of the universities you did your undergraduate and/or graduate, your GPA, your recommendation letters).
Although I also hate GRE, I still have to say that, if you are playing a game with them, you have to know and obey their rules.
buckyball, are you an American applicant? Just curious.
