Hi John,

Tough question, but the reality is that you'll have to indicate that you have a Masters degree and you'll have to send your scores over. If there is some good reason for why you scored low, I would divulge that in an optional statement. The scores will raise some eyebrows, but you do have to disclose them and ideally explain them.

Best of luck!

Hi John,

I suppose in theory they would not, but I don't recommend not disclosing this information. Also, there are many ways they could find out - (e.g. if they were on a call with your employer and he/she mentioned your degree, etc.).

My recommendation would be to be honest about your degree.

Good luck!
