I recently retook the GRE and ended up scoring lower than my initial scores. I wanted to hear some opinions about whether or not I should try to re-take again. I was wanting to raise my writing score and my practice verbal scores were in the range of what I got the first time (164). Is there enough time to retake and would it be a good investment of time?
