GRE Quant Score for History Master's

[reddaj]

Hi. I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but how important is the quant score (and the combined score) for top history programs? I had a 3.75 gpa (English major) from a top-tier college, and my current scores are 770 Verbal and 690 Quant. Should I bother to try to nudge my quant score up past 700 (which I think I could do pretty easily), or would that probably just be a waste of my time (and my $140)?

Thanks!

I'd say it would probably be a waste of time and money. History programs aren't looking that the Quant section that much as far as I know, and your score is already ok.

I think if you put yourself through that again for a few extra points, you are a masochist! I have to say I had similar feelings about my scores (680 V 780 Q), but then I realized there is absolutely no way I want to sit through that test ever again :wink:

Thanks for the responses! I'm thinking I'm done with the GRE forever then...or at least until I decide to go back for a science degree...
