Anyone ever had to retake one section of the GRE? I know ETS only offers the full test but if your acceptance to CRNA school was contingent on retaking a particular part how did you go about it?

Can you even take just one section of the GRE?

I retook it and my scores for math/verbal flip flopped but both improved. I just know if you take it again don't do worse.

That's what I'm afraid of. I was thinking about just focusing on the math and skipping the other sections entirely. I'm not sure if that frowned upon though.

Yes you can. Just leave the other sections blank and they won't be scored. Pretty sure this was in the instructions at the beginning of the test.

Thanks Orangemocha! I took it a while ago so I don't remember what the instructions were. Being able to focus on just one section makes it a lot easier.

Yes you can. I am a provisional student. I need to score at least 40% at my English test. Luckily, this is my only condition left. Then, I am off to starting my school! hooorah!
