So I took the GRE this morning and I have to say that I'm concerned about the score ranges I received at the end. I saw in the forum that someone commented that the scores some people were receiving were unusually high. Now I'm wondering if people who have taken the revised exam so far believe this is the case?
I studied my butt off for the Q-section since I'm planning on going into a science program and the Q 100-point range I got on ETS' practice test was exactly the same as I got at the end of test today. The V-section is where I feel the most unsure, but I still might just be doubting myself.
Any feedback or reassurance is much appreciated!

I'm guessing they will weigh them the same since it's really the only thing that puts all potential candidates for admission on the same playing field. I spoke to a graduate program director for a school I'm considering and they told me they were in favor of the way the Verbal section was restructured because it puts further emphasis on meaning in context and reading comprehension as opposed to just knowing the definition of the word.

I just took the test this morning!
I did all my studying at home, but the library (and your phone turned off) is also a really great place, especially if they have private study rooms.
I don't recommend any specific drinks. I made the mistake of drinking a whole bottle of powerade before the exam and Prometric is very strict about breaks!

Hi all,
I'm taking the GRE next week and was curious if you receive your V&Q scores at the end like on the previous version of the GRE? I know the revised test is on a brand new scale, so I was curious if someone who has already taken the revised GRE could answer the question.
Thank you!

My Q score was exactly the same on the revised GRE I took yesterday and the ETS practice test I took the day before. My V score was a bit higher than I was expecting, but maybe I just guessed a little better. I was wondering the same same thing though, people keep saying unusually high but it's not like I got scores in the 95th percentiles after expecting them to be in the 70s.
