I will be taking the GRE 5 short mornings from now. It's going to happen... I have to take the test. Now, the test is not only designed to make you worry throughout (crap, I don't know this question... crap, I must have missed the last question because I know this one... etc etc) ... but I have enjoyed in the past few weeks hearing teachers talk about how the GRE is the most important test you will ever take. Yes, I know that if I do terrible I may never get into graduate school... but in reality, I work my butt off so hard for everything else I feel that people wouldn't not take me because I don't know words that I have never heard and never will use. Sorry... this turned into a rant about the GRE, that was not my intention. Basically... I don't understand why teachers have to tell you how important this test is. Granted, in context they are just talking about the purpose of standardized tests... but I still don't like it! Studying for this test is basically impossible, but I go about it anyhow.
Now time for bed... getting up in the morning to take a practice test... Wish me luck!

Hang in there. All you can do is try. I believe you can take it again like the SAT's. Even if that delays you a year. I, too, wish the teachers would be quiet. All they do is make you more nervous. Aren't they supposed to be psych teachers? They could use some counseling. Say a prayer, take a deep breath, and give it the old college try. I love you.
Hang in there. Too bad the professors don't use their psychology to help their students instead of making them more nervous. Can't you take the test more than once? Hopefully the practice test will help. Remember; take a deep breath, say a prayer and don't think about it too much. I love you.
