I am applying to PhD programs  in Literature and Gender Studies, and I am wondering which of my GRE scores to report to schools. I took the test twice. The first time, I got 169V, 158Q, and a 4.0 AWA. The second time, my scores were 168V, 162Q, and I'm still waiting on the AWA but I figure it's got be higher this time. My essays were a lot better this time.

 

So, I'm wondering, should I just report my second scores, since they were higher, or should I report both scores, since my verbal was slightly higher the first time? I've heard that some literature programs only care about the verbal anyway? 

 

Thanks for any thoughts!

I think the 4 points of Q are more important that the 1 point of V, even in a literature program (though I don't know). I think there is very little difference between a 168 and 169, but a large difference between a 158 and a 162. 330 is an impressive score.
