Should I retake the GRE Exam?
This is a tricky question. Assuming you can afford to retake the test
and the dates are available, there are a couple of other criteria that you
should keep in mind when making this decision:
(a) Do you have enough time ?
If the first time you took your GRE was already kind of cutting it
close (late October or so), you will have little time to do any more
substantial preparation.
(b) Will it help ?
If the reason your first test did not go so well was because of poor
time management or factors other than lack of preparation, retaking
the test might make more sense. However, you should take
steps to ensure that the same factors do not appear the second time
you take the test. So, if the cause was, say, lack of time management
then you should do more practice with actual timed tests to
make sure that you figure out how to best manage those precious
minutes. If it was silly mathematical mistakes, practicing will help
there as well.
