GRE related advice?
hi, new to the community..
I'm hoping to apply for ivy-level Eng Lit PhDs this year. I took the GRE two years ago and scored 610 verbal, 740 quant...kind of the inverse of what I was going for. All of the math has gone straight out of my head by now, and I wonder whether it's worth it to try to study for the verbal now and retake the GRE before applications are due in December. I may improve my verbal score, but I'm sure my quant will plummet. What do you think?
Also, if you take the GRE in late November/early December, is that ok for application deadlines of December 15?
Re: the GRE English Lit subject test -- I took that two years ago as well and scored 680. I am certain I could do better now, but the exams are full for this year (in the UK). Does that seem good enough for ivies?
Thanks for your advice.
