Seriously, I did just a liberal arts program for my bachelors. I didn't take much of anything. Highest math was geometry. One course in bio and chem both. I think I should have gotten higher in verbal, but my skills are obviously in the math/sciences. Granted i didn't practice for this test at all. I basically just knew what sections to expect. Is there ANYWHERE to go from here?<br />

I don't know. What's your GPA. I got a similar score. Except I studied. With a near perfect GPA you could get into many many social science grad programs. Payce.

This link has a scorign scale.

With a score bias like this, it probably means you are right-brain dominant. I would seek out activities that are creativity-centric and do not depend highly on language skills.

You mentioned that you had a BA in liberal arts, or were working on one. I'd suggest getting a MFA (Master of Fine Arts) and developing your creative talents.

High math / low verbal scores also work well in some engineering disciplines, but your coursework doesn't exactly match that, so I didn't suggest it.

If you have historically scored high on IQ tests, etc., but feel like you have dyslexia or some other disability that prevented you from scoring well on the verbal portion, you might try to find out if there are special versions of the test you could take that don't depend as much on language skills (they may have such versions for physically disabled people and if you DO have dyslexia or similar, you might qualify for them). I doubt that is the case, but it's worth a shot.

Anyway, good luck with it all. Great math score, by the way!

You, my friend, are in serious need of one-on-one counseling with a career development professional. There must be a career development office on your campus, and you needed to work with them a couple of years ago--get an appointment ASAP and let them help you sort this out. Their abilities to get to know you and assess your interests and aptitudes will far exceed those of any of us well-intentioned strangers on Yahoo! answers, sad to say.

Your math score is good; your verbal score could be improved. If you are, in fact, going to apply to grad school and have enough time to prepare well with practice tests and vocab lists and such, it might be worth retaking the test. So much of the verbal is just vocab, and probably some 90% of the words you can find in GRE study materials, including the CD-ROM they send you when you register (or if they didn't send you one, you can request one on their website). Just by doing some practice tests and learning as many GRE words as you can, you can probably boost your verbal score 100 points or more.

But it sounds like the bigger problem is figuring out what you want to do. This score does not mean that you should suddenly go into math or science, nor even that those are your greatest strengths! You probably wouldn't get into grad school in math/sciences or a career based on them because you lack training in them. Don't base your career choice on your GRE score! Think about what you would enjoy and what you feel like you're good at. Get opinions from professors, counselors, and friends.

As several posters have suggested it really depends on what you want to do.

If you are planning on going into something heavily oriented in math, such as economics, or certain hard sciences your high math score is not that big of an advantage, but certainly does not hurt. For example, a 740 puts you in the upper 18% of all GRE test takers. Your verbal score is low but depending on the program and your GPA you may only have to raise it slightly. I cannot stress enough that it depends on what you want to do. If you go to the GRE website and search around a bit they have an excellent PDF file that lists the percentile scores for nearly every PhD field. For example, while a 670 verbal and a 740 math would put in the overall percentiles of 95 and 84 (roughly), they would put you in the 96th percentiles for both in psychology. For a more social science program your math score would be in the upper 2 percent but your verbal score may be lower than average.

Studying helps a lot. Seriously, you should really really buckle down and study. I took several practice tests, studied for 3 months, and my overall score went up (from the practice tests) 310 points to a 1410. I would be willing to bet that you could improve your verbal by 70 to 150 points and could probably raise your math even higher (although it should be said that generally a 750 is excellent).
