Theoretical2010 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I got Q 800 ; V 520 ; AW:3 taking this into account that my country first language is not english is 520 verbal or 3 AW a good score ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScreamingHairyArmadillo Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Physics? You should be more than fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gremot Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Good for what? I think anything above 1300 should be ok for most places, but it's definitely not the greatest score... My scores are very similar (also international student) - Q750 V560 AW 3.5 - I think the worst of it is AW, but then again a lot of people say that they don't look at it so much. It was my second try at GRE, first time I got 4.5... Bluntly, I just hate GRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course taking into account the fact that my gre physics score is 990/990, I think I have done not bad for top ten, what's your idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gremot Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 (edited) I mean good for going to top ten. Of course taking into account the fact that my gre physics score is 990/990, I think I have done not bad for top ten, what's your idea? I am sure that these results will be good enough even for top ten - if the rest of your profile is excellent. Because as much as I know and as I truly hope, they will look at the whole packet rather than just test results. But your 990 sounds fabulous. Congrats Edited December 2, 2009 by gremot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeuroNerd86 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 1320 is exactly my score too (560V/760Q/4.0 AW) and I'm also not a native speaker. Everybody I talked to said it should be good enough since math is solid and for life sciences (and I'm sure for physics too) it's one score that matters the most.

Theoretical2010 Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 I am somehow concerned about my analytical writing 3, of course people say it's not so much important for physics. but the fact that my Percentile in Analytical writing is only 10% some how bothers me!

It's not a great score, however, if your TOEFL/IELTS scores are alright I doubt it will matter very much. I think almost everyone considers AW the least important part of the GRE. 520 is a decent score for someone whose first language is not English.

You should be fine. I have scores in the same vicinity. I got a 1300 (760Q, 540V, 4.0AW) and I am not a native speaker either. I don' t think many American students in the Sciences score higher in the verbal (or quantitative) part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
