Clinpsyc01 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I can't decide if I should send my scores when I write the GRE tomorrow. It would save me $140 (I'm Canadian), but I'm not very confident that I'll get a decent writing score. I would love to save the money but I'm terrified that I'll send my scores and then find out that I bombed the writing section. Do you think it's worth it to take the risk? What did you do?

rising_star Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I always vote for saving the money. I mean, what's your backup plan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would send my scores because even if you end up taking the GRE for a better score, it won't hurt your chances at grad programs. Some grad schools look at all of your multiple GREs and rank you positively for any score improvements (e.g., Michigan). Other schools look at all your scores and consider the best section scores from different sittings (e.g., Yale). So, on net, send your scores tomorrow. If you do well, that's great; if not, you can retake the test and resend your scores without adverse impact on your application. My source for the above is this PowerScore blog on multiple GRE scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
