Fi19 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Hello! Can you give me suggestions on which one of the two GRE scores to use and whether I should re-take the GRE Psychology Subject Test? I will be applying to clinical and counseling programs, mainly phds and terminal masters as backups. Thank you so much! - GRE 1. V161, Q157, AWA4.5 - GRE 2. V158, Q162, AWA (waiting, likely 4-4.5) - GRE Psych 730, 85 percentile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V158, Q162, AWA (waiting, likely 4-4.5) - GRE Psych 730, 85 percentile Based on percentile scores, I would send the second one. According to the conversion charts, GRE 1 is V at 88 percentile and Q at 66 percentile (not competitive depending on your program). GRE 2 is V at 80th percentile and Q at 81, and you cross the 320 combined mark that makes candidates the most competitive. I would agree with @ResilientDreams and send both if allowed, but 2 is probably the better of the two options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loffire Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) I might be wrong, but some programs state that they take the latest if you've had several attempts Edited September 6, 2018 by loffire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
