Apparently i am in the same situation like you but I have a question:

I guess from the test dates you took the CBT I was wondering if there is a major difference between the PBT and the CBT especially in terms of difficulty.

 

Regards.

Hey Freek,

 

For what it's worth, the University of California San Diego has an average GRE score for accepted students of around 1200. It's important that you speak directly with the admissions departments of schools you're interested in and get the word FROM THEM. Other websites can be very dangerous, particularly if they aren't officially endorsed by any serious body. Instead, talk to someone in the school. At present, your GRE scores a bit low for competitive programs, and that could hurt you, as the GRE is taken pretty seriously as an official test. I would thus recommend your taking it again if you want to be competitive. However, have a conversation with an admissions officer as soon as you can. Hope that helps!
