I took the GRE and got a 720Q, and a 590V. I was testing at 780-800 for Q but did not finish the last 3 questions on test day.
I don’t know what to tell you. I emailed asking if my Q was too low (I dont think they care about the V or writing very much) and was told I may want to retake it if I feel I can score higher. However, they emphasised that the Personal Statement and resume mean more than the scores/lrecommendations and prior econ experience is a plus with a weak Q score.
I majored in Business economics and accounting and have plenty of Econ so I think I am fine,
if you have prior econ courses with good grades that will help you.
