Which GRE score should I use for MS applications?

I have an undergrad degree from one of the top-10 CS programs, and am planning to apply for MS in Computer Science.

I have two GRE scores:
1. V: 152 (54%)  Q: 167 (94%) AW: 3.0 (15%)
2. V: 154 (63%) Q: 162 (83%) AW: 3.5 (38%)

Which one do you guys think I should use?

Thanks

I suggest #1, as I think the Q score is the most important of the three in this field. If you demonstrate high fluency in your written material, and/or your recommenders highlight situations where you have demonstrated excellent communication skills, that may alleviate concerns about your low V and AW.

Also, if you can, ask a faculty member on the MSCS application review committee at your home institution how they react to getting scores like yours (or ask your academic advisor to ask them).
