I changed my mind. I miss academia. Actually, I mostly just miss academic coffee.Mary Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16088346831450487385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13805148.post-15182446686685191442008-08-02T14:35:00.000-05:002008-08-02T14:35:00.000-05:00You're going to grad school?

(I know it's acceptable to make Facebook-stalking jokes, but is it acceptable to make blog-stalking jokes? Something in me says it's not, but I can't see why it wouldn't be.)<BR/><BR/>Arya, I bow to your superior math knowledge, but I still haven't the foggiest how you got the answer. I also feel compelled to point out that the answer page said that A was the correct answer, and A was blank. Doubtless they meant to put 150/x next to A, but still. They didn't.Mary Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16088346831450487385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13805148.post-88968558696295846682008-06-23T07:38:00.000-05:002008-06-23T07:38:00.000-05:00150/x should be answer150/x should be answermehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732680308806208417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13805148.post-9124583013166563812008-06-22T22:38:00.000-05:002008-06-22T22:38:00.000-05:00I totally empathize, having taken the GRE last Oct...I totally empathize, having taken the GRE last October. I used the Kaplan GRE 2008 prep guide, which had a few errors in the quantitative section. Don't sweat it, tho. <BR/><BR/>For me, the writing was the more difficult. When I took the GRE the first time, I was so freaked by the time that section was done that I couldn't do well on the rest. I cancelled the test. Second time around was MUCH better!<BR/><BR/>So, take a deep breath; say a quick prayer (Lord, with you I can get through ANYTHING!); and you'll do it!<BR/><BR/>And practice writing those essays. It really makes the difference.<BR/><BR/>God bless,<BR/>MC2 <BR/>as in also<BR/>as in same name, faith, taste in films<BR/>but a quilter, not a knitterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
