OMG.
I basically spent $140.00 for a test to tell me i'm an idiot. Really? Did i have to spend that much money. Was it that necessary.
I wouldn't say my mood is completely depressed, sad, or stressed. I kind of a knew after i blanked on the word obviate ( :to anticipate and make unnecessary) that i was in deep shit.
From the annoying little clock located in the upper right hand corner, to the moments of complete daydreaming( i swear i spaced for a solid 5 minutes. My dream involved Javier Bardeem and bob haircut) i knew this was going to reflect poorly on my score. And poorly did it reflect.
My three days of studying and watching America's Next Top Model marathons did not help. Though i could have written a whole essay on the injustices of Heather being kicked off the new season.
I'm going to retake in January which will give me ample to study. Particularly the first or second week before school starts, so i'll be all refreshed from Christmas break. Plus it will give me time to study words like "jejune" and graphs and charts.
I should have sent my scores to Harvard just to give someone a giggle.
My number one school thankfully does not require any GRE scores so now i just have to work on a kickass story and hope that will be enough to get me in.
Gre- 1. Beckett- O, But fighting.

They have online Prep Classes for the GRE as well, the Princeton Review (which is one my sister used...) has a 3 week online study for $99
Just a thought.
Good luck on the next go around! I know you'll do great!!
jejune: juvenile, immature, uninteresting. antonyms, see Beckett.
The GRE is one serious stupid bitch. i speaks from experience. i had to do the GRE-literature exam, too, which was hell on wheels (i read SO MUCH crappy poetry to prepare for that damn thing).
and to be honest, i think grad schools don't care as much about scores as colleges do about your SATs. your writing samples and your recommendations and your statement of purpose are what will really carry the day.
i'd offer to be your study-buddy if i could figure out how to do flashcards via internets!
did you have to do......math?????

The online prep class may help. I have the book but it's a little vague in some of the description. 99 bucks in highway robbery though. Damn Princeton review, but it may be worth it to boost my score.
Oh and...HI!

The GRE is a stupid bitch. It seems so stupid to take the test when i'm trying to get into a writing program.
There was so much math on this exam, i almost threw up on the computer. There were two sections of math, both 45 minutes. It sucked balls, and mid way i starting daydreaming about Javier Bardem.
