graduate record examination, basically the SAT for college grads. 90% of universities with grad school programs require it for admission into their programs. basically if i get a good score my grad school application is a lock; if i do poorly i'll have to wait another full year and try again.

Take about a 1/2 dozen sharpened #2 wood pencils. (They probably do it on the computer now and not have you darken in the little circles any longer do they?) Still, use them to figure up the answer.

Just think about the SAT, only tougher!

Good luck!

Sample Question:

If a train leaves NY bound for Chicago doing 60 MPH. Another train leaves Chicago doing 50 MPH. Question: Why didn't the passengers just fly? Who takes the train any longer?

things going to chicago tend to have lesser motors in them, as we in the carolinas all know

done. it suuuuucked.

i studied my ass off for the verbal section, then on the test none of the thousand words i studied actually showed up. i did significantly better on the quantitative section than my practice scores indicated... won't find out my essay scores until i get the results in the mail.

my scores were 600 for verbal and 580 for math, putting me in the top 14% of test takers for the former and top 65% of test takers for the latter. according to studies my verbal score is high enough to get me into ivy league grad schools like brown, princeton, university of PA, etc, but my quantitative scores are pretty lacking.

i'm hoping the fact that i'm applying for a history program will remove the need for a great quantitative score and that my essay scores will come back with superior scores.

glad that's over with.

When in doubt, go with "C" as the answer

I don't remember any multiple choice when I took the GRE, but I could be wrong. Maybe some on the math side.

EDIT: The more I think about it, I think the math portion was all multiple choice. The English part was all essays though. At least it was all on a computer.:tu

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Here comes Frankw and his pathetic little persecution complex to claim I have a personal vendetta against one of the worst performing coaches in the league if anything I should love Canales because he’s walking proof that through the lord all things AREN'T possible.  This kind of performance is exactly what you’d expect from someone who filled the building with misunderstood Bible quotes about iron forging iron and inspired speeches about how he apologized for his infidelity by buying his wife a book deal.  once more into the breech dear friends, just like when I paid a stripper for an above the pants hand job in Orlando.

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      By PNW_PantherMan · Posted

      As dumb as it probably sounds, we should have won that game.  Defense was bad but Bryce should have been better.  Pass rush isn't a good enough excuse.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By frankw · Posted

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
