Took the test on the 18th of October. Writing, Quantitative and Verbal followed by the experimental Quantitative section that I found honestly easier than the current format, especially because you have a little calculator on the screen that really do speed up the process if you know what you're doing.

Hi everyone, So I'm planning to apply for PhDs in Biomedical Engineering for next fall and I took the GRE last Monday. My preliminary results are 590V and 740Q. The writing part was ok, I think I should have a decent score. I was particularly disappointed with the quantitative score, for some reason I ran out of time towards the end and answered 3 or the 28 questions randomly. It kinda threw me off my game for the verbal part that came afterward but I guess I managed to score reasonably, especially considering English is not my first language and that I had no idea what half the words meant... I checked the score averages for the different schools I'm applying to and they were all around 770/780Q and 550V. I'm wondering if I should take it again in order to improve my Q score or not. I've got a M.S. in Electrical Engineering from my engineering school in France and a M.S. in Biomedical Engineering from Imperial College London (UK). The Bioengineering masters ended with a research project and my supervisors are recommending me for research. So I guess in short my question is, is 740Q really bad and are the scores somehow nuanced with respect to your background? Also, if I were to retake it, would they only consider the latest score or would they do some sort of averaging? Thanks guys.
