I remember when I took the GRE course at Manhattan Prep. They said that there was a significant correlation between the length of essay and the score of the essay especially once you get to the 5 and 6 score range. I received a 5 on my essays. Imo 3.5 is too low. Anything 4+ is good. Also I've heard from PT schools that I went to visit personally that they don't consider the math grade as highly compared to the verbal and analytical scores which are better predictors of student success in PT school.
This is truth. I am 39th percentile in math yet still received interview invites from all schools I applied to.
Somehow I ended up with a 3.5 on the writing...wtf. I don't know how else I could've answered the extremely random questions that they asked. Perfect grammar and well thought out responses, I thought for sure I would've gotten a 4 or 5. I don't even understand what criteria they base their grading on for this section? It's especially frustrating because there is a 0% chance I re-take the exam.
They don't really look at grammar or even accuracy. I meant to write about Neil Armstrong but kept mentioning Louis Armstrong instead. I think they assess logical progression in thought more than anything.
