Why is the security at Subject GRE tests so lax? -no cameras -no metal detection -phones allowed -food and drinks allowed -study materials allowed under your seat -bags allowed on chairs or under your seat -bathroom breaks without signing in or out -ID check only once when you come in -no fingerprinting

Just received this e-mail from ETS. Any thoughts on this PPI thing?

I am hoping to get into a top PHD Psychology program for Fall 2014. For example the PHD in Developmental Psychology at Harvard GSAS. I have a very low overall GPA (2.9) due to medical circumstances, a high major GPA in Psychology (3.9), and I just got my GRE results: 167 Verbal, 163 Quant., 5.5 Analytical Writing. Do you think it would be a good idea for me to retake the GRE to try to bump up my Quant. score? It is in the 87th percentile while my other 2 scores are in the 97th. My research experience and letters of recommendation are probably mediocre to average, since I was in and out of my undergraduate school (due to the medical problem) and could not really build on lab time or relationships with faculty. What do you all think?
