annei Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) Hi -- I'm new to this forum, but browsing it has been very helpful already! I am wondering about schools' policies regarding multiple sittings of the GRE. Will they consider the highest score on each section of the exam, or will they only consider scores that come from a single sitting? I took the GRE twice and received the following scores: First sitting: 168Q / 168V / 5.5W Second sitting: 170Q / 170V / 5.0W If I can choose scores from one sitting only, which one would be best to report?

thagzone Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Oh my, what a terrible spot to be in! But really, I guess you'd take the perfect quant score, since a 168 -- > 170 verbal difference is immaterial anyway and a 5.5 --> 5.0 AW difference is also never going to matter. A 168 --> 170 quant score increase is not likely going to change anything itself, but I guess you could argue it's the most likely to help you, while the other two shouldn't make a bit of difference either way.

Johnnie Walker Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Second one. No doubt about it. Definitely second Zubrus' opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chateauheart Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Those are almost identical to my two scores and I reported the second one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
