I survived the GRE, at least for now. I’m not exceptionally pleased with my performance, so I won’t get into it all that deeply. I did better than expected, significantly better in fact, on the math part. But I was guessing on many of the questions so that’s a fluke. I didn’t do nearly as well as I wanted on the verbal, which is really disappointing. I’m still above the 90th percentile, but my goal was the 97th so I’m a bit frustrated by that. Of the two essays, I really feel like I messed one of them up. Rumor has it they have only 2-3 minutes to devote to grading each essay, so hopefully the parts that are disjointed in that essay get lost in the skimming. I think I did well enough on the other. I’ll get my essay and official scores back in 2-3 weeks. I did some checking after I got back, and my score would get me into Missouri’s master’s program if I was a recent college grad with a 3.0, so I suppose I shouldn’t be so disappointed if my GRE score was good enough for Mizzou. Of course, I’m not a recent grad and I didn’t have a 3.0 as an undergrad either. Looks like I better take apples to class with me this spring!<\/p>\n
I’m going to decompress the rest of the afternoon and will try to get back in the swing of things tomorrow. Hey, I’ve got a trip to KC to look forward to now!<\/p>\n
