gre scores
i finally got all my gre scores back. here’s the word, in score/percentile rank format:
- verbal: 670/94
- quantitative: 800/94
- analytical writing 4.5/45
- math subject test 600/46
the general test went well for me. i am a very deliberate writer, though; forty-five minutes is not enough time for me to compose a thoughtful essay. the math subject test, which i took back in december, didn’t go that well either. i feel that this test is not an accurate indicator of my math skills - the only thing that test indicates, in my opinion, is one’s capacity for memorizing formulas and “tricks” in order to answer very specific questions. i know that what i am saying sounds like a cop-out, a “blame the test” argument, but in this case i feel it is valid. i just hope that the math departments to which i applied have similar-thinking admissions committees.
