yeah its different now

however if you did take the old one and if the date that you took it is still valid the old score can be converted to the new score.

This would be a very low score for either the verbal or quantitative sections. That would be in the 10th percentile for the verbal and 8th percentile for the quantitative. I would be very surprised if there is a graduate program that sets 140 as the bar to be met for admission. If that is the standard, I would certainly question the quality of the program. A program that requires 140 on each section is saying that it will admit anyone (except the lowest 10%).

With a 3.47 undergrad GPA, I would bet that you will do much better than 140 on each section.

I take the GRE on the 29th, have study very minimal but I will use this upcoming week to focus. I only need these scores to get into the masters program I want with a 3.47 undergrad.


Oh you fricked.

155? Did they change the scale or something? When I took it I think the max score for each section was 800.


The did change the scale a few years ago. It is confusing as hell--I have no idea why they changed it. The GRE used to be scored like the SAT, but now it has a scoring system that no one understands.
