I just took the General GRE and received V: 560 Q: 740. Would it be advisable to take it again, or would the improvement in quantitative not matter that much? Thanks for any advice.
Retaking the General GRE allows you to improve your scores and showcase your academic potential to graduate schools. It also gives you the opportunity to improve your chances of being accepted into competitive programs.
To improve your Q score, it's important to practice regularly and familiarize yourself with the test format and question types. Additionally, reviewing basic math concepts and using test prep materials can also help improve your score.
You can take the General GRE as many times as you want, but it's important to note that some schools may consider all of your scores when reviewing your application. It's best to check with the specific graduate programs you are applying to for their policies on multiple GRE scores.
If your scores are already within the range of the programs you are interested in, it may not be necessary to retake the GRE. However, if you feel like you can significantly improve your scores, it may be worth considering retaking the test to showcase your academic abilities.
It's recommended to wait at least 21 days before retaking the General GRE. This allows you enough time to review and practice, but not so much time that you forget what you have learned. Additionally, you should consider your application deadlines and schedule your retake accordingly.
