Repeater’s Policy for Subject GRE Test
In case you took a GRE Subject test last year and were not really satisfied with the scores, don’t feel too bad about it. You can re-take a GRE Subject test this year to improve upon your score. There is no limit on the number of attempts you can make. So you can take another shot, and if required, one more to try and improve on your score. But past statistics show that scores are unlikely to improve much when going for a re-test. Anyways whether to go fro a re-test or not is completely your decision, we can just help you decide.
Can you re-take Subject GRE tests?
Yes, you can re-take a Subject GRE test as often as you like on any of the three annually scheduled dates. But then just re-taking the test doesn’t mean that all your previous scores stand cancelled. When your scorecard reaches the graduate schools, it will contain all the scores you have achieved over a period of five years. So not only do you need to crack the tests that you take later, but you have to score high enough. Otherwise, it will be a meaningless exercise and a waste of money.
