Comments on: GRE http://www.crazybutable.com/weblog/archives/2005/10/21/gre/ A weblog for people who otherwise wouldn't.

It's just a matter of paying attention to what they are really asking. I made some really dumb mistakes when I was relearning the math. I think I had a total of 1330 for the verbal and quantitative. I don't remember what I got on the individual sections. I haven't got the official scores yet. I don't know if my score is particularly good, but it was better than my practice tests. That's got to count for something. We'll have to see what the professors think. I think my field experience is probably more likely to get me into graduate school than the GRE anyway. My undergraduate grades certainly won't help though. The math only goes up to 10th grade geometry (9th grade if you were in the advanced class), but there are a few tricky questions.

It's all about being happy with how you did. :) I can’t tell … but I guess my question is just as appropriate for Keir. It’s all about being happy with how you did. :)

It'd been a decade since I'd had any of the geometry or trigonometry on there ... I had to scrape back some serious cobwebs. Did you do decently well on the two sections it auto-graded for you, John? You satisfied? It didn’t when I took it in July. It’d been a decade since I’d had any of the geometry or trigonometry on there … I had to scrape back some serious cobwebs.

It didn't when I took it (ages ago). Does the GRE cover any college-level math yet? It didn’t when I took it (ages ago).
