I got my new GRE scores from a couple weeks ago and I noticed that my scores from the first time I took it in August weren't there. So I am completing applications and I went to ETS to order reports to send. When I get to the place to check and confirm which ones I want to send, my August taking isn't on there. There was a little message saying you can not use this service if you are missing a score from a administration. I can still order them on paper, but now I am wondering if something is wrong with my reports, although that wouldn't be such a bad thing since my first time was awful, but I did change my statements to reflect the differences of my first taking to my second.

I dunno what to do😕

This may also classify as weird, but my percentile changed for my writing score. I just sent 3 more scores and got the mail notification. It was the same mark, but different "% below".
 
I think percentiles can change because they update averages, monthly or something
 
I need to send my gre scores to schools and when i went to the ets website it says it's $20 to send scores PER SCHOOLl!!! i just wanted to make sure this was accurate and i'm sending them the right way before i spend a serious amount of money on this process! i was planning on doing it all online and just typing in the school i want my score sent to.
thanks!

Yep. It's $20 no matter how you do it (phone, mail, online).
 
it's a nice little taste of grad school. Paying for ridiculous things that you think should be free.

The same thing happened to me. I called ETS to figure it out. Percentiles change to reflect the percent of people you've scored above in the past 5 years. I had taken the test in 2007 so my percentiles have obviously changed (conveniently they went up!). Hope this helps!

Sorry for multiple posts... I had a similar problem with my GRE and Psych GRE score. My GRE score didnt show up on my account. I called ETS and the problem was that I had registered for the two tests at separate addresses (despite using my same name and Social Security number) so ETS had created two separate accounts for me. Perhaps that's what happened to you? They're pretty helpful so I'd recommend calling customer service if nothing else. Good luck!

I finally got through and thats what happened. The first time I registered with my middle initial and SS# and the second time I didn't , so they are combining those accounts. I didn't even realize I did it when I registered lol
