Speaker 0: welcome to Podwiz by Wizako. I'm Wizara.

Speaker 1: And I'm Zako. Buzz, we heard you loud and clear. Can I choose GRE scores that I send to universities? So today we're diving into something super crucial for all you GRE aspirants. How to strategically send your GRE scores.

Speaker 0: You know, Zeiko, I find it fascinating how many test takers don't realize they have options when it comes to sending their scores.

Speaker 1: Exactly. Let's break it down for our listeners. On test day, you get to send scores to four programs absolutely free.

Speaker 0: And here's where it gets interesting. You've got two choices. Right after your test, you can either send just your most recent score or all your scores from the past five years.

Speaker 1: But wait, there's more. After test day, things get even more flexible with additional score reports or ASRs.

Speaker 0: Though they come with a price tag of $35 each, ASRs give you this amazing third option. You can cherry pick which test attempts you want to send.

Speaker 1: Let me paint a picture here. Say you took the GRE three times. First attempt, 312, second 316, and third, 320.

Speaker 0: With ASRs, you could send just that impressive 320. Or you could strategically show multiple attempts if they showcase different strengths.

Speaker 1: But here's a common misconception many students have. You can't mix and match sections from different attempts, right?

Speaker 0: No. Creating superscores by combining your best verbal from one test with your best quant from another.

Speaker 1: You know what's really cool? You can actually send different score combinations to different universities when using ASRs. Here's an scores from Test 1 and Test 3 to a humanities program. If Test 1 showcases your highest verbal and Test 3 your highest total score, you may opt to send Test 2 and Test 3 to a STEM program, provided Test 2 has your highest quant score.

Speaker 0: And here's something important to remember. Universities can never see canceled scores, even if you choose to send all scores.

Speaker 1: One question we often get is about score validity. Want to address that, Wizara?

Speaker 0: Absolutely. Your scores are valid for 5 years from your test date. After that, they vanish. Poof. Even from your ETS account.

Speaker 1: Time really flies. Any final tips for our listeners?

Speaker 0: Yes. Use those four free score reports wisely on test day. And remember that ASRs typically take about five business days to reach universities. Zeiko, on another note, do you want to update our listeners about an effective way to improve their GRE vocabulary?
