Like Sunnyshine I also took the GRE today. This was my first time and I am really unsure about what to do next. Got a 700 Q and 410V😱! I know I was floored when this Verbal score appeared on the screen. After consistently doing practice tests with higher verbal than quant. scores I was shocked:
Kaplan CAT online practice,
640Q, 55% 660V, 92%
700Q, 73% 670V, 95%
660Q, 63% 640V, 92%
ETS Paper Practice Tests,
680Q, 700V
710Q, 600V
and some Barron paper and CD practice tests with similar results.
I was concerned about my Q score but never the verbal. One of the reading passages was really long and was really hanging me up for comprehension and time. In the end I ran out of time and probably didn't answer 5 ques.
I feel that taking the GRE again could increase my V score but at the expense of my Q score, a kind of regression towards the mean if you look at my practice scores. Do these mean anything anyways? Does anyone know how long it takes to receive percentile scores?
