could some one please tell me whether the GRE score will reach grad school on Feb 1 , if i take the exam on 3rd jan ?

I have taken the exam before and got low score (V-350,Q-770) and hence i am planning to give the exam again. I am an international student applying for physics(PhD). My phyiscs score is 910.

It depends - are you taking it overseas? Is it paper-based or computer? If you're taking the paper based test, the score reports aren't mailed until 4-6 weeks after the test, so it probably wouldn't get there on time. for the computer based test, scores are supposed to be mailed 10-15 days after the test. if they are mailed on time, they should get there, but many, many people have had delays and problems with ETS getting scores out in a timely manner. I would also guess that if you are taking it in another country, it will slow it down as well. If you do take the computer test, be sure to stay on top of ETS - check with them 10 days after the test to see if they have been mailed. If not, check again in another 5 days. No matter what ETS says, check with your programs 20 days after the test to see if they have gotten it yet or not. If not, nag ETS again. Also with the computer based test, you can self-report the verbal and quant sections to your program awaiting official results.
