So… remember that one time I blogged about how I’d done well on the GRE? Well, turns out you shouldn’t count your chickens before they hatch. I did well on the quantitative and verbal sections of the test and I got my scores immediately for them. I didn’t get my score for the writing section until yesterday, and it’s lower than I’d expected. Significantly lower.
So, it looks like I’ll be taking the Revised GRE sometime after school starts. July 31 is the last day to take the old test, and that doesn’t really give me enough time to study and prepare properly for my retest.
I’m pretty bummed (mostly because I was excited to have this big test out of the way), but I’m trying to look on the bright side - this will give me the chance to also improve my verbal and quantitative scores and make my graduate school aps even better. I’m also getting the impression that the changes to the GRE’s format and questions will benefit me (esp. the ability to skip questions and change answers).
Prayers, as always, are appreciated.
