antigone56 Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Two questions: 1) What's the latest one can take the GRE and still feel pretty confident that scores will be ready in time for applications, assuming first application due Dec. 15th? I took the GRE last year in July, so I have a score in the bag already, but I'd like to re-take this year. Was thinking some time between October 15th and November 15th? I'd like it to be Nov 1st or so if that's reasonable. 2) If I score worse than I did in July 2012, (hopefully I won't, but if I do), can I still have my July 2012 scores apply instead of my October or November 2013 scores? Thanks in advance!
Guest Gnome Chomsky Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 About 2 weeks before the application deadline. I think it took me 10-12 days to get my score. I guess you can 2 months in advance to be safe, but it's not necessary.
complexbongo Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 If you want to be safe, I think 1 month in advance is a safe bet. Even you can prepare and feel ready by the first few weeks in November, I would take it then. Remember also that some schools have separate "Supplemental Materials" deadlines which may or may not include GRE scores. Each school varies.
jmu Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 I took it 10/31. Also, you can choose which scores to send if you pay to send them but I don't think you can choose in the ones included.
exploregre Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 it is always better to take gre test at least 1 month before your university deadline.
