GRE yesterday

740 Quantitative
690 Verbal
humans have to grade my analytical writing, so those are pending.
82nd and 96th percentiles, respectively.
I learned a *bunch* of new words these last few days! <3 words.

I bet I could get these up though...

Nice! How much did you study for it?

Not all that much really. Oh, except for the hours and hours I spend on freerice.com when I'm procrastinating.

All I really did this week was take a practice test and sit in a Borders for a couple hours reading the Princeton Review's GRE book-- that was really helpful, like when I learned that the earlier questions are more important than the later ones.

Mostly though I've just been in the habit of reading a LOT of varied stuff and looking up the words I don't know, for years now. Princeton Review tells me that's exactly how I should build vocab, I'm like "Cool!"

Great job! Hope the writing goes as well or better also, not that there's much you can do about it at this point.

be comforted by the fact that in a battle of GPAs, you would pwn me so hard.
