Just got my PGRE scores back, got a 910/990. I'm not really happy with my score since I thought that test went really well. Even while taking the practice tests every single question seemed doable. I'm wondering if its good enough for competitive schools. My GPA is 3.75, so I thought of taking the PGRE to kind of make up for it. Is 910 good enough to make up for my GPA? Or would you recommend that I take it again.

That's about the middle of the pile for those who get accepted into grad school somewhere (and that does not mean the 50.0000th percentile). You could retake it, but what is your plan? Getting a 920 will open very few doors that a 910 didn't. A 980 or 990 would, but how do you plan to get a score that high? That would require you moving up ~1000 places in the rankings.

According to ETS a 910 is somewhere between the 81st and 85th percentiles. Whether that's a sufficient score will depend on the individual programs you plan on applying to.

And, perhaps even more importantly, what the rest of the application looks like.
