does gre score depend on month in which u write
hi guys,
i'm writing gre in june.i came to know that gre scores obtained by students in some months like september and october are high when compared to other .my senior's scores also prove the same .so pretty much confused.can anyone give me some relevant information.

Hey Shrinivas,

Thats all BS. In my class last year, we found a correlation which went exactly the other way around. Myself and two others wrote in June and scored more than 1500. The fourth guy who wrote in June scored 1430. Not a single chap who wrote after June managed anything above 1400. So basically, there's no such thing as that. But June's definitely a good idea - gives u a lot of time to think about your universities (tho' I'm talking here of an MS and not an MBA)

iam writing gre in OCT. Anyway, siddharth r u from chennai. cos i remember the same rumour came up quite heavyily in chennai a few months ago. But after giving it a lot of thought, iam convinced that it was nothing more than a rumour.

hey another thing. this is the latest rumour and i believe that this too is nothing more than just another rumour. They say that scores are generally higher in the non metro centres than in the metro centres between the months june to sept. dont get serious. its just a rumour to ponder about and guess how far it is true. even if it is true, it will be nothing but coincidence.

Atleast that is what i hope.

I have been noticing the patterns for the last 4 years.... n NO there is no discernible pattern abt some centers giving high scores or some months giving high scores..

Dude

I thnk ur rackin ur brains too much on matters which really shud not b ur main concern.
