-analyze and evaluate written material and synthesize information obtained from it
-analyze relationships among component parts of sentences
-recognize relationships between words and concepts
Quantitative Reasoning —

Three scores are reported on the General Test:
Verbal Reasoning score reported on a 200-800 score scale, in 10-point increments
Quantitative Reasoning score reported on a 200-800 score scale, in 10-point increments
Analytical Writing score reported on a 0-6 score scale, in half-point increments
The GRE Subject Tests gauge undergraduate achievement in 8 specific fields of study.
-Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology
-Biology
-Chemistry
-Computer Science
-Literature in English
-Mathematics
-Physics
-Psychology
GRE test scores are used by admissions or fellowship panels to supplement undergraduate records and other qualifications for graduate study.
The scores provide common measures for comparing the qualifications of applicants and aid in the evaluation of grades and recommendations. Some Subject Tests yield subscores that can indicate the strengths and weaknesses of individual students' preparation and may be useful for guidance and placement purposes.
Now I know :)
Canceling Your Scores
At the end of the test, you will be given the option to cancel your scores. You cannot cancel your score for one section of the test and have the scores for the remaining sections reported. Although you have the option to cancel your scores, consider very carefully before doing so. Your scores will be reported to GRE score recipients only at your request. If you cancel your scores, they will NOT be reported to you or any score recipients, and no refund will be made. Canceled scores are not added to your permanent record. If you wish to take the test again, you must reregister and submit another test payment.
Score Reinstatement — Fee $30
Scores canceled by you can be reinstated if your request is received at ETS within 60 days after your test date. You may fax or mail a written request to GRE Inquiries. Your request must include your name, date of birth, daytime phone number, test date and registration number, payment and up to four free score recipients. Include the appropriate department codes and indicate what scores you want sent. You may choose to send only General Test scores, only Subject Test scores, only stand-alone Analytical Writing or Writing Assessment scores, or any combination of the above, but you may not choose to have only those scores from a specific test date reported. If you do not select score recipients at this time, you must pay $20 per recipient to have scores sent at a later date.
Scores will be reinstated and reported approximately two weeks after your request for the computer-based test or on the approximate score report mailing date for the paper-based test. Your scores will be mailed to you and your designated score recipients shortly thereafter.
I don't know the details of the italicised, but it seemed relavent to your dilemma.
