Okay...if I do this good on my real GREs...

Took a practice GRE tonight. Here's how the scores came out.

Verbal: 590.
Quantitative (Math): 660
Analytical (Logic): 780
Total: 2030

All GRE tests are graded out of 800, so you can see roughly where those fit. I'm shooting for a range on the real test of somewhere between 1800-2000, so...

If I can do this well on my real ones, I think I can pretty much clinch myself a spot in grad skewl. Even with a Berkeley GPA of 3.2 (3.3 in the jr/sr years, 3.09 in the major).

So...I'm gonna find myself a list of SAT vocabulary words. But otherwise, I'm gonna relax and be a little less nervous about it...and get ready to kick ass and take names on Thursday.

who made the practice GRE? is it a copy of an old one or something? what I'm getting at, is it supposed to be comparable in difficulty to the real thing?

Software copy downloaded from the folks who do the real one. I'm guessing it is, a couple of the books I've glanced at suggest so, and it is a lot like the SAT, which is what some grad skewl friends swore to me the test was like. So yeah, I'm fairly confident this was an accurate measure.
