I scored 820 87%

I'm an international student.
I really want to go to Chicago in 2012.
Will it be necessary to take the test again?

Really!?

Did you get your scores by phone?

Also there's no reason to think you should have to take the GRE again, but it's only a small part of your application.

870 - 94%
I've heared that:
below 80% - not very good;
between 80% and 90% - OK;
over 90% - good;
TOP % - very good.
So, anything over 80% is sufficient, even scores below it are not fatal. In my opinion, you don't have to take it again:)

Do you think admission committees have a bad opinion if a person took the GRE twice? Even if your score have increased?

kooolant - if you kill yourself does that mean everyone else's percentages will go up? for real, a 750 is just fine - something i would be pretty excited to get

logaritym - when you tell everyone the incredible score that you made please don't follow it with a break down of how the other scores are and what is bad/good. it sounds like bragging. which, given that several of your other posts have seemed like bragging, it probably is.

generally - i'm still holding strong against paying ets 12 bucks to find out my score early since it won't change anything. i hope that i can make it to the 24th!

alex, I should say the same even if I scored 60% or 70%. 2 friends of mine (currently doing PhD in USA) gave me this information even before I took the test. This is the last time I give you explanations for my posts here. If you perceive them as some sort of weired bragging, it's your problem. Sure, I was satisfied with my result and wanted to share it along with answering the question, but believe me, my purpose is not to stay here, trying to get attention and commends from online users for some good (but clearly not exceptional) achievements.
This is just ridiculous!

AFAIK there were some people who took the test as standby - did someone actually phone up GRE and asked them about the registration number? I get the feeling the reg number depends on the test, at least it keeps telling me that they couldn't locate my score. Wish I had called them yesterday, they're not around on weekends.

Well done everybody!
@ logaritym: Perhaps you should tone down your language a little bit to avoid "misunderstandings".

I think there was a "misunderstanding" because this scale is not necessarily universal.

If you are applying to Berkeley, say, you and your friends are absolutely right; anything below 80% is pretty bad if you are applying to Berkeley, since they actually say so on their website. This standard is probably similar in most of the top-tier schools.

On the other hand, if you are applying to lower-ranked schools, then it's a different story. (Or I hope it is!)

58% after studying about 200 hrs. Its the same score I got last year....I guess it's a little better because this year my last year test dropped to 55%. If the 74% dude is gonna go all seppuko on us, I guess I should be scared right?

780 - 80%. bang on target, although slightly disappointed, thought I would score a little bit more than that.

620 43%

I had refused to apply to any safety schools, so we'll see if that spells the end of my math career.
