Great content as always! You probably was inundated with questions regarding the recent percentile changes to the GRE, specifically in the Quant section. The problem is that when reaching out to the MBA programs, they cant give a solid answer as to whether they will just look at the scaled score, or look at the score plus percentile. On the websites to most of the MBA programs, they will list the average score per section from the previous class but they don't list anything regarding percentiles. Should a student retake the GRE if their quant is below the 70th percentile? My quant is a 163 which is now in the 63rd percentile.
Hi @Najio13 , how have you been prepping so far? Have you seen a score increase after practice? Having a tutor sit down with you to figure out your weak issues would be a great place to start. Even a few sessions can set you on the right path because you'll be more aware of how you are approaching questions and what is happening in this process (this is something really difficult to become aware of on your own.) Here is a blog post about strategies to improve your GRE score: gre.blog.targettestprep.com/how-to-improve-gre-score/ Here is some info about tutoring: gre.targettestprep.com/tutoring Hope that helps!
