Hi TestMagicians,
I got 2040 with a pathetic verbal score of 480(A=760,Q=800).But i think verbal was the best section I attempted and the experimental section was some essay(which i think isnt compulsory).
Since I've been scoring 580-650 in verbal at home ,I dont know where i went wrong in verbal.I am doing my Bachelor of Engineering(BE)in Electronics in Bombay,India.And Ive heard tht most grad schools look for A+Q .....but my V being pathetic Ive been told to retake the test.But if i do,then I wud have to do so after oct under new syllabus.
So ne suggestions from u will be helpful.(Honestly I dont want to retake esp under new syllabus)
Bye

Hi Mesh,

Great Q score there! Congrats. as far as I think, U should apply with this score. But, if u want to be very sure, U can still take the test after Oct. U see, essay writing is v.v. easy and simple. At least, it is far better than Analytical section. So, It's upto u to make the decision. All the best for ur future.

Hi,

U can get this info from Petersons.com. Just click on Graduate education in this website. then it asks for ur major. then u get a list of all the universities. If u need the ranking, try usnews.com

Hope u find this helpful. All the best.

Yes, A+Q scores are the most important for such fields as Computer Science and Engineering. I had a student two years ago who got 800Q 800A 500V and got into Penn State for engineering, but he went to Texas A & M instead.

So you still have a lot of hope!

Thanx for the suggestion!I was almost gonna retake the test...I hope I get into top 40 univ...(BTW whts the ranking of penn and Texas A&M?)
Does TestMagic has its own grad school ranking???It wud be very helpful if TestMagic puts up the rankings,if there is no such provision available!
I would also suggest that test gurus should help in post-GRE counselling which I feel is more important than pre-GRE preparation!
Bye,

Yes, it's important, but I also think that most people feel a great sense of relief once the GRE is done.

Anyway, no, I don't think TestMagic can compete with the likes of US News or BusinessWeek (at least not yet! )
