I retook the GRE to make myself more eligible for fellowships as a PhD student. They have completely re-done the scoring system so I don't know what it would be in terms of 1200 or 1300 but I know my percentiles. Verbal = 90th percentile. Quantitative = 61st percentile. Writing = 72nd percentile (4.5). The writing is still out of 6.

I'm so friggen excited!

I don't know if it was the new format or bc I actually studied lol. Last time I had no idea what to expect. I didn't study for even 5 mins. This time I sat down, took 2 practice tests, wrote a sample essay and had english tutors look it over and made flash cards for vocab words. I actually worked really hard this time and I'm glad it shows
Thanks for this!
