Need advice for GRE score

[cspsych]

Hi all, 

I'm an international student and planning to apply for Psychology PhD (cognitive psychology) for Fall 2017. I have just received my GRE score and i got V-158, Q-169 and AWA 3.5. The AWA score is driving me crazy and I'm thinking if I should retake my GRE next month? Please guys, i do need your advice . Thanks so much

In general AWA is the least important when applying to quantitative fields. Whether or not it's worth it to retake depends on many factors, such as which programs you are applying to and your other stats. Unless you need your GRE to make up for other aspects of your application, I think your current scores are not a make or break thing - ie if the rest of your application is strong, you probably don't need to worry.
