iowaguy Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Has anyone seen any stats on how a cumulative (Q + V) GRE score stacks up? I'm thinking similar to how on the GMAT a cumulative percentile is given, in addition to the individual percentiles for verbal & quant... I'm wondering if grad schools add up the V + Q and consider the total (like an ACT or GMAT), or whether they consider each individually?
Usmivka Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 I'm not aware of any programs that pay attention to cumulative score. Certain fields care more about one section or the other, so using a cumulative score in admissions decisions would actually remove or obscure the more pertinent information.
Darth.Vegan Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Usmivka is mostly right, but many schools that list averages often list them in terms of a total.
