gre practice test I - results
I just plain ran out of time in the math section and my scores show:Verbal - 620 (88 %tile)
Quantitative - 640 (62 %tile)
My GRE scores from 6 years ago were:
Verbal - 570 (78 %tile)
Quantitative - 760 (84 %tile)
These results and the change in scores tell me a couple things:
- My vocabulary has grown over the years
- I've gotten worse at taking tests (I only answered 2/3rds of the math questions)
For my test on the 11th of next month, I'll spend most of my time reviewing math. During the practice test, I spent a lot of time deriving geometric short-hands like: the hypotenuse of a right triangle with 60 and 30 degree angles is 2x, while the other two sides are √3x and x.
UPDATE: In reviewing the essays, I'm pretty embarassed by the response to the letter to the editor. Did I write that?!
