pgre scores

Post by mahima » Mon Nov 12, 2012 4:24 pm

I have a question regarding my Physics GRE exam scores. I took this exam two times before and scores of recent exam(10/13/12) is exact with the one, which i took it first time(11/12/2011).how come two different exam came with the same scores?
My question to you is- Is there any way i can appeal to check my scores again, may be you guys can double check my exam scores in database ?

I was referring to this post of yours. You say that you are going to take the November 2012 PGRE test. If you took the November test, the results haven't come out yet and you're still seeing your previous scores.

i took both, oct 2012 and nov 2012 both...i also took nov 2011 but with no prepartion. please try to answer my ques instead of searching my previous posts.
my oct2012 and nov 2011 scores came out exactly same. this is the thing wondering me. In nov2011 my prepartion was bad, but in oct 2012 i study and covered pretty much all of the material. but still i got 530 in both the exams

I didn't mean to nitpick, but the whole thing just confused me. As for your question, there is no possibility of getting your test revaluated. I'm sorry. Just hope that your November test turns out fine. Good luck!

Not sure if relevant, but I have known people who've scored low despite being really good. Their problem lay with the fact that they skipped a question and continued marking the subsequent questions without skipping the corresponding slot in the answer sheet. That can really mess things up.

I think you can get ETS to grade your test by hand. It costs a little bit of money and what ever the regraded score is, you have to keep even if it is lower. It also takes some time, which may delay getting scores sent to schools.

OP, I think you should write to ETS enquiring about your options.

I also got the same exact score and percentile for my April 2012 and October 2012 test. I'm guessing it's just a coincidence, but if you figure any thing out OP I would like to hear if they messed anything up.

Did anything ever come of this for the original poster or others? I had some delay in getting my scores for Nov 2011 exam. I also took the exam in Nov 2008, and right now it is showing the same score for each test. This doesn't really make any sense to me either. I was not prepared at all for the 2008 exam, have since gotten MS in Physics, and prepared quite well for 2011 exam. I also answered about 1.75 the amount of problems on 2011 exam, so getting the same score seems a little bizarre to me. I'm hoping this is just a temporary glitch so to speak.

Have you tried contacting ETS about the issue? I think that's the best course of action to answer your concerns.

You could try getting it hand scored.

You are probably correct, but... I've been in contact with ETS so much lately I can't bear the idea ...might wait till next week or have it hand scored.
