[M.A./ MS Psychology]

Where are you applying to? I'm applying to MA at Wake Forest. I haven't heard back from them yet, but that's because the deadline is Jan 15th. Good luck!

[HGSE Fall 2014]

Sorry if this has already been covered in previous threads or is already more than obvious, but does anybody know whether checking "yes" to being considered for the merit-based / need-based grants affects admission decisions in any way?

 

Thanks!

I attended one of the HGSE virtual info sessions and they said checking yes will not affect admissions. Good luck!

Anybody here applying to Ed.M. HDP?

[144 V, 4.0 AW - anyone else with similar scores?]

DeafAudi, how was your AW score? Good luck 2nd time!

[144 V, 4.0 AW - anyone else with similar scores?]

I am wondering if there is anybody out there that got a VERY low verbal score and an okay AW score?

[Low verbal, average writing - any success stories?]

Hi all, so I just received my official scores today:

144 V

155 Q

4.0 AW

I'm wondering if you think my average writing score will be any help. FYI, I'm applying Ed Psych, both masters and PhD. Also, I'd love to hear success stories out there about those who had low verbal but an ok writing, and got in Thanks!

[Chance at Harvard GSE (Ed.M. in Human Development and Psychology)]

My scores just came out: 144V, 155Q, 4.0AW... should I even bother applying?

[Will ETS notify us via email when AWA score is available?]

Wow! That's quite a quick turnaround! I hope you got the score you were aiming for

[Will ETS notify us via email when AWA score is available?]

Or do we just have to keep checking the website?

[144V, 155Q - too low for MEd program?]

I did my undergrad in the US (top 15) so I don't need to submit TOEFL. That's actually a good idea... I will ask the admission to see if TOEFL can help replace GRE verbal

[144V, 155Q - too low for MEd program?]

Thanks for your input. English isn't my native language so the verbal section has always been a challenge for me. I might consider retaking it. Do others have thoughts on this?

[144V, 155Q - too low for MEd program?]

I just took the test today. I know my verbal is quite disappointing; I've been getting around 150 on my practice test so I don't know what happened there. Do you guys think these scores are enough for a masters in Ed program?

[Manhattan vs PowerPrep discrepancies are puzzling]

I have the same question about Manhattan vs. PowerPrep score. I'm taking the test tomorrow and will let you know which practice test align more with my real score.

[Countdown till GRE: Some final questions]

My verbal is horrendous... Think below 150. I don't really understand the disparity either. I'm hoping folks who've done Manhattan and the real test could weight in. As for the second PowerPrep, I don't really know what to tell you since I scores lower than my Manhattan and that definitely lowered my confidence a bit...

[Countdown till GRE: Some final questions]

I have a similar issue and I'm taking the real test this Thuraday. Here are my Manhattan and ETS scores (quant only):

Manhattan 1: 157

Manhattan 2: 158

Manhattan 3: 159

Manhattan 4: 159

Manhattan 5: 163

Manhattan 6: 160

PowerPrep 1: 153

PowerPrep 2: 155

Looks like our scores are somewhat similar! I've heard that the PowerPrep mostly accurately reflects the real score (but I sure hope not!). To answer your last question, I think you should relax the day before instead of doing another test. Good luck!

[Manhattan 159 Q vs. PowerPrep 153 Q]

Thanks to both. I really need to chill!!!

[Manhattan 159 Q vs. PowerPrep 153 Q]

I've been reading that Manhattan quant section are generally more difficult than the real test, but PowerPrep reflects the difficulty of the real test. That being said, my scores do not make sense at all! Does anybody got similar issue, i.e. scored higher in Manhattan Q, but got lower on the real test? I'm taking it in 2 days!!

[Do we bring own pencils on test day?]

I'm taking computer based test, but will need pencils for quant section.

[Do we bring own pencils on test day?]

Or does the test center provide them?

[Fall 2014 Applicant Thread!]

Anybody applying to HGSE EdM in Human development and Psychology or EdM in Preventive Science and Practices?

[I'm bombing my GRE every time I take it. Please help?]

Cy213, do you mind sharing your scores on the practice tests, if you've done any? I'm anticipating my scores around your range as well and curious to see if your practice scores align with the real ones.

[To get 158-160 on Q - about how many questions can we get wrong?]

I know the test is adaptive and has a complex scoring system, however, I am wondering for those who've done practice tests and received quant score around 158-160, how many questions did you get correct total?

[Practice GRE scores vs. real GRE scores]

It seems like you haven't used Manhattan before. How do you know it's 'garbage'? I'd like to get others' thoughts on Manhattan too (preferably ones who actually used it). Thanks.

[Practice GRE scores vs. real GRE scores]

I purchased the 6 practice tests from Manhattan and did one last week and today. The score from last week for Q was 152 and today was 163. That's HUGE difference! I wonder how reliable these tests are...

 Oh, I forgot to mention that on the first section of Q, I got 13/20 correct, and 12/20 correct on the second section. How in the world did that come up to a 163?!
