GRE practice test 1
V = 700 and Q = 580 is okay for a first practice, right?
I hate the inconvenience of math problems that can't be done in my head easily, so i made somewhat informed guesses on a few so i could move along.
And i think i need to really turn off the descriptive linguist in my head that keeps trying to argue with what i know is the correct answer, and yet don't want to be. I mean, each word can be interpreted in so many different ways! This is especially troublesome on the sentence filling ones, where sometimes my contrary and naughty self just wants to make it mean the opposite of what it's supposed to.
I'm hoping a good nights' sleep and stimulants will make the actual test go better than doing a practice test while munching nuts at the end of a long work day does.
Tomorrow, more math review while pretending to work. Can someone remind me how fractions inside of fractions work again?
Saturday, more assorted study + practice test 2.
At the test, are we allowed to bring water bottles or anything?
Do we have to supply our own scratch paper and writing utensils?
Can someone tell me why i'm doing this again?
(especially since it looks like of the only two programs i am probably going to get around to applying to this year, neither of them requires the GRE, and only one of them recommends it)
Anyway, back to kanji cramming (JLPT in less than a month) before bed.
