Report from the Trenches

[caitri]

GRE scores:

Verbal 570
Quant. 410
Analytical writing--supposed to hear in two weeks.

Hmm. This was lower than I was expecting, on the other hand, I don't know my grade for 1/3 of the darn thing. So I'm emailing around for thoughts.

And then I'm gonna watch Glee. And/or nap.

ETA: It was a nap and it was awesome. And I want to seriously thank everyone who posted or emailed with encouragement--I feel way better about my scores now! I LOVE YOU ALL SO DAMN MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you score 600 on each part? Cause in that case the 570 is pretty good isn't it? What did you have to write about? Something interesting? And did you think it went well? And I'm kind of awed by how fast they hand out the results. It just makes them look real slow on the one 'non-computerized' part.

I'm not certain--a few people seem to think I did fine, one less so, so I have some friends making discreet inquiries for me.

I had to write an argument piece on a sentence about whether people react more strongly to words or images, analyze an argument about education and an analyze an argument about vehicular fatalities. I think I did fine on those--I write a lot so that was the quickest part for me.
