Comment on Ask HN: The GRE subject test

Comments

I would definitely take it, and make sure that you do very well giving your relatively low GPA. You'll also want to do very well on the normal GRE too, since most schools look at that first and fore-most. The subject test is almost never required except for in the very elite schools, but a good score definitely will increase your chances anywhere.

What sort of a score on the normal GRE test would you say would be a very good score?

I understand the test is out of 1600 presently.
