GRE Scores
So, I took the GRE yesterday. The program I'm trying to get into says it requires a total of 950 on the verbal and quantitative together and a 4.5 on the analytical. When I finally got my scores at the end of the exam, I made a 560 on verbal and a 750 on quantitative. Needless to say, I was quite content with those scores. I still have to wait for my analytical scores, but as I've told everyone here, I don't think taking it again would help that score any. My prompts weren't bad and I think I gave some solid reasons for what I wrote. So, whatever I get on that part, is what I get. I am very glad that I prepared the way I did. Except the quantitative part, I think I was as well prepared as I could have been for everything else. I was a little nervous about the quantitative part becaue everyone had told me how easy it was, then when I took a practice test Friday night, I only made around a 500 on it. I was less than happy. But, Chip answered some questions for me and gave me a few pointers. I think that also having seen the type of questions the night before helped the day of the test. Obviously it all turned out well in the end. If you're going to take the GRE and you're not a verbal person, I really liked the Kaplan GRE Verbal Workbook that I got. It had some great tips and it had a whole section on how to increase your vocabulary, which is what I needed to do. Anyway, that's about it on the GRE. I'm glad it's over and I won't have to do it again.

I'll post a little later about our night out last night. We had a good time and we're starting to make some friends. To be continued...
