It's at http://www.ets.org/portal/site/ets/menuitem.1488512ecfd5b8849a77b13bc3921509/?vgnextoid=ed252d3631df4010VgnVCM10000022f95190RCRD&vgnextchannel=a4e846f1674f4010VgnVCM10000022f95190RCRD#scoresonline Or just go to the GRE site and look at score reports and it now has the option to 'view scores online'. You have to make a profile but it's all easy.

I just signed up for the new GRE look at your scores online thingie. I already had my general scores, but thought, what the hell, I can sign up now and check again when the lit scores come out in early December. Imagine my shock/surprise to see that there is a score up! Well, not a full score, it's a bit crazy. It has the number of questions I got right and wrong, and the raw score, but no percentile or score out of 800. Just thought everyone who took the November 7 test would like to know, to assuage the agonies of waiting somewhat. Also, I'd like to know if everyone can see some sort of score, or if my account is just broken or something and showing any old number!

OK, this whole financial thing has me a bit confused. I just wanted to know, when do I fill out this FAFSA form- when I'm applying or after I've (hopefully) been accepted somewhere? I don't want to miss any deadlines...

Thanks, everyone! I was confused by the fact that my applications asked for the registration number for both my general and subject tests, as it made me think they were different. Still, I've sent ETS a message to clarify it, just to make sure...

Hi all, This is probably another stupid question. I'm filling in applications for grad school, and they're asking me for my General GRE registration number. Now, I have a registration number for my subject test (on the admission ticket), but I cannot find a number for the General CBT anywhere! In the email they sent to confirm my test date, all there is is a really long confirmation number. Do I have to wait for my score report to get a registration number? Coz that would kind of suck, as I live in Dubai and the letter will take AGES. Any ideas where I could find the registration number?

Hi, I was just wondering- can you request that GRE scores be sent to unis before you've applied? I thought you couldn't, and so didn't fill in any schools, but now doing my applications it asked me when I requested the score. Did I get it all wrong...

You mention that you love Maths, but you never say why. What draws you in particular? What specific parts of Mathematics have you enjoyed the most? Did you have an 'aha' moment? This is all stuff I'm using for my SoP (granted, it's for English, so might be somewhat different). I think it would just make you more of an individual, and make you stand out from the masses of other applications and be more memorable.

Hi all, I'm applying for an English PhD and I'm currently writing the SoP. I want to use a quotation and refer to a couple of articles/books that have been really influential, etc. How extensive does the reference have to be? Can I just put the title and author, or should I include publisher/year? At the moment I'm just including the first, but just wanted to see what everyone else did.

Hi all, I've done my GREs and chosen some universities, so that part is all going fabulously. The thing that is catching me up, however, is my SoP. This is my first time applying to American universities, so I'm completely at sea. I found some reputable advice online (including one site that told me it's the 'most important piece of writing you'll ever write'...thanks for that, no pressure then, eh?), but am still struggling to figure out what they're looking for. Would anyone mind sending me an example of a decent SoP or giving some tried-and-true suggestions? Of course I have no interest in plagiarism...if that worries anyone, I'm applying for English, so any humanity subject apart from that would be vaguely similar in style (or so I believe).
