GRE Retest FAQ

Sir I have given the GRE test but I am thinking to attempt once more for the exam so I want to know that is there any harm in giving the exam again is there any limit for giving the exam again

Hey buddy taking the GRE multiple times will not harm your chances of admission.

Well it is only advisable to retake the GRE if you are confident you will score higher

If the programs you are interested in offer scholarships to students with high GRE scores, then it may be worthwhile to retake the test.

Otherwise, a score that is even a little bit above a school’s requirement is probably sufficient.

If you choose to retake the GRE multiple times, be sure to take both sections seriously every time.

While the new Score Select option offered by ETS is a great way to send only your best test scores to schools, be aware that you cannot send only the GRE verbal score or the GRE quantitative score for a particular test.

The GRE New Pattern has 2 Verbal reasoning sections – 20 Questions & 30 minutes per section. The scoring is done on a scale of 130 to 170, with 1 point increments.

The GRE Quantitative section tests a candidate's ability to understand, analyze and interpret quantitative information.
