Many programs will list a cutoff for GPAs and GREs. For example Cornell writes " Most successful applicants score 700 or above on their GRE subject test." So I would think looking at different PHD websites would give you information on what scores are needed on which tests. And the grad cafe results section is also helpful.

In Chemistry, schools focus on the general GRE test and definitely care about both the verbal and quantitative and essay scores. Some schools don’t require or recommend the GRE subject test.
