Took the GRE this morning at 8am at the testing center in SDSU. I rode on two wheels as it is easier to park close and be sneaky and not pay for parking. What's the point in riding a motorcycle if you can't do things like this in urban areas?

Room full of people waiting to take the same test. Some of them going into it totally cold! No way is that a recipe for success! This is not an easy test. I was the only person who admitted to doing any sort of formal studying. One guy said he printed of a study guide from online, and one person said they got a book from a bookstore to help.

I totally think the Kaplan prep school was worth it. On my own I was scoring in the 30th percentile in the math portion and in the 60th percentile for the verbal part. After the Kaplan class I scored in the 72nd percentile for the verbal and and in the 62nd percentile for the math. Impressive gains and well worth the expense of the class to almost double part of my score.

Physician assistant is hard enough to get into, no need to have a poor GRE score due to being cheap or lazy.

My score on the new, revised GRE is about an 1,200 on the old GRE. I'm sure once my essays are graded that will only bump my score up as well. I'm pretty sure they are "5" level essays. So there ya go, of all the people trying to get into graduate school in the US, I am easily smarter than 60% of them.
