makeithappen Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I just took it and got 145 verbal, 143 quant. Can't stand standardized tests!! Worst 4 hours of my life! Throw anatomy and physiology questions at me and I will know them or learn to master them, no problem. I don't really think I can do any better. Is it really that bad????

GMarie Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Well, according to the conversion table (http://www.ets.org/s/gre/pdf/concordance_information.pdf), your verbal is right around the 24th percentile with an old score equivalent of 380 and your quantitative is around the 17th percentile with an old score equivalent of 480-490. That would make your total around 860 to 870. Many schools like for you to have a combined score of 1000, so I guess it really depends on what schools you are applying to. Good luck!

Latina PA Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 If you truly believe you cannot do any better, then try to find schools that do not require it. I have a friend who got a 920 on the old GRE and was not accepted to any of the programs around here (they all require GRE scores of 1000 or better) so she decided to go the NP route, she is in a one year accelerated nursing program as we speak...(or write) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorRRT Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 If the schools you're applying to require it, you're probably going to have to. Most programs require scores at least at the 50th percentile or 1000 on the old scale. Check the websites and see what the individual requirements are and go from there.

Administrator rev ronin Posted September 15, 2012 Administrator Share Posted September 15, 2012 Get better, or give up wanting to be a PA. If you hated the GRE, the PANCE is 10x worse. And by 10x worse, I'm being conservative. It's longer, more arbitrary, and the tools to solve the questions are simply not there for you unless you've already got them in your head. Programs who require the GRE are doing so partially out of masters' degree requirements, but partially out of desire to get students who can cope with the PANCE, too.

jen0508 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 i dont remember wat i got or even what the grading scale is... in a few years the GRE will be a distant blurred memory. review a study book and take it again, its just 4 hours of your life. your not willing to spend another 4 hours on a test to have a better chance to get into PA school??
