| So, I got my scores back, and I don't mind sharing 'em with you, because I'm pretty damn proud of them. Verbal - 580 (75th percentile, as in 75 percent scored below me... hehe, blow me) Quanitative (as in Math) - 650 (57th percentile) Analytical Writing - 6.0 (96 percentile) Discussion: Verbal and Quantative are out of 800 points. I was amazed, because due to my skill repetroire and based on my performance on the practice tests I took, I expected to hit the verbal part out of the park and struggle on the math section. So when I saw a 90 point difference between the two, in the opposite way of what I was anticipating, I freaked out. But talking to a couple people and looking at the distribution, just about everyone gets a higher score on the math than the verbal, including moi, despite my perceived self-efficacy with the verbal section. Although, as you can see, my verbal percentile is still noticably higher than the quantative, so that makes me happy... :-D <--- me happy As for writing section ::becomes giddy:: the two essays I wrote were scored by two independent raters, and those scored were averaged together. These scores range from 1.0 to 6.0... as in I received the highest score possible. ::does a happy GRE dance:: So I knew, unofficially, my score for the first two sections immediately after taking the test, but I just got back the writing scores this evening, so that was a very nice suprise. All in all, I'm very happy w/ my performance, and it appears as though my preparation for the test payed off. (Thank you GRE for Dummies!) Next up, the Subject specific test (on Psychology) in mid-November. Woot woot. |
