Hello! I took my physics GRE and I got a good score on it. I am thinking to take the Math one, too (I looked over the problems and they seem ok). Do you think it worths? Like, if i apply to a physics program, would math GRE have any impact or they would completely ignore it? Thank you!

You mean the math subject test? It would be a waste of time and money.

You sure are starting a lot of threads about how high your test scores are. I think when you get to grad school you will find the department is less impressed by test scores than by accomplishments.
