Taking the GRE tomorrow...

[PhillyB]

in exactly twelve hours i'll be sitting in a room realize how bad i suck at math and wishing i'd spent my Huddle posting hours reviewing. holy poo i am nervous.

[Jackofalltrades]

Good luck, what's the GRE?

[PhillyB]

graduate record examination, basically the SAT for college grads. 90% of universities with grad school programs require it for admission into their programs. basically if i get a good score my grad school application is a lock; if i do poorly i'll have to wait another full year and try again.

you down with GRE?

Take about a 1/2 dozen sharpened #2 wood pencils. (They probably do it on the computer now and not have you darken in the little circles any longer do they?) Still, use them to figure up the answer.

Just think about the SAT, only tougher!

Good luck!

Sample Question:

If a train leaves NY bound for Chicago doing 60 MPH. Another train leaves Chicago doing 50 MPH. Question: Why didn't the passengers just fly? Who takes the train any longer?

things going to chicago tend to have lesser motors in them, as we in the carolinas all know

them thc's are a bitch..

[PhillyB]

done. it suuuuucked.

i studied my ass off for the verbal section, then on the test none of the thousand words i studied actually showed up. i did significantly better on the quantitative section than my practice scores indicated... won't find out my essay scores until i get the results in the mail.

my scores were 600 for verbal and 580 for math, putting me in the top 14% of test takers for the former and top 65% of test takers for the latter. according to studies my verbal score is high enough to get me into ivy league grad schools like brown, princeton, university of PA, etc, but my quantitative scores are pretty lacking.

i'm hoping the fact that i'm applying for a history program will remove the need for a great quantitative score and that my essay scores will come back with superior scores.

glad that's over with.

I don't remember any multiple choice when I took the GRE, but I could be wrong. Maybe some on the math side.

EDIT: The more I think about it, I think the math portion was all multiple choice. The English part was all essays though. At least it was all on a computer.:tu

[panther4life]

When i never studied for multiple choice test, I would just try to spell as many words as i could like.

d.a.d
