GRE

who thinks i should retake the GRE?

i took it in december of 1999, so the scores should still be valid:

V 650, 92nd percentile
Q 720, 80th percentile
A 690, 84th percentile

that's not how they're scoring anymore, but still. thing is, i don't like those percentiles with eights in them. anyone have thoughts?

Well, it's not that much worse than datlowen, IIRC, and I think GW was quite impressed by his...

I'm just scared of the new essay thing. I LIKED the old versin, and damnit, I liked it on PAPER, not computer!

Yeah, I took the GMAT right after it was computerized, and I was a nervous wreck. I did really well on it, but it seemed much tougher than the paper version.

The essays aren't bad, really, except they're *first*, so you're already exhausted when you get to the multiple choice stuff. That's not fun. I found them pretty straightforward, though, and ETS isn't expecting Great Prose, thankfully.
