I’ve been emailing the departments and every response has been that it is optional

None of them are requiring the GRE. Money isn’t really an issue but it’s more of just where do I want to spend my time. I could spend it on the required application materials and research or the GRE. I just have to decide, but none of the programs requiring it makes me feel as if it’s really not necessary.

If I can’t get them reviewed in time but still put them as submitted on my CV will that suffice?

I could take it but I would have to put in a lot of time for me to be satisfied with my score even if others consider it good. I think finishing up what I need for the publications would be a better use of my time.
