okay something sorta scary: tonight I was watching an ultimate frisbee match and ran into my delightful, albiet a little scatterbrained former advisor. I mean, my first one, when I was a psych major in school. Everytime I went to his office to get advised he would sort of squint at my sheet of classes to take and ask me the same questions over and

good for you! i took the GRE (just for kicks i guess..) a couple months ago. you might want to consider prepping for it a little. i went in with no preparation.. i literally said to myself "i make all As plus i'm so awesome at jeopardy, this is gonna be a BREEZE" but then it was full of vocab words i had no idea were even in the english language, plus tons of math that i hadn't even thought about since 1998. i did okay, but could have done a lot better if i had spent a couple hours reading a gre prep book or something. good luck!

in regards to the gre, i would spend a lot more time prepping for english than for the quantitative. i spent maybe 6 months studying for the verbal section, which put me in the 99% percentile, and about 4 days studying for the math, which put me in the mid-70's, i think (which is a perfectly fine score, considering there are a lot of math and science nerds getting perfect 800 skewing the percentiles). oh, and i would at least look over some strategies for the writing portion so you'll at least know what is expected of you. in regards to books, i used baron's, which was awesome for the verbal parts (it has a 2500 master word list), but the math section was really confusing and they kept giving me all these problems that i didn't know how to solve and then moving the how-to accompaniment to these questions to some unknown location elsewhere in the book.
