    what kind of revised GRE scores would LSE want?
    HI everyone,

    I had 700-V, 750-Q, 4-AWA in my previous GRE. I'm retaking it, but in the revised format.

    I am interested in applying to LSE, Oxbridge, UCL, Warwick for MSc in Economics. Since i'm an international applicant, i'll have to send my GRE scores to LSE and Oxbridge.

    What kind of scores should i be working towards? (for the revised GRE, i mean)

    Please help...

    What is the 'revised format'. I understand the successful Oxbridge, LSE candidate for Economics gets 800 on Q under the old system...how does that convert to the new? Either way, you're looking at the highest marks for quant. V's ok.

    In the revised format, i think....the highest you can get is 170, and the lowest is 130. This is for both quant and verbal.

    (the format has changed, not the things that are tested)

    Do they still include an Essay ?

    i guess LSE might want around 160 now considering they always have the toughest requirements.

    yup. They still want both the essays. And the essay scoring hasn't changed...
