I take the GREs this Thursday at about 2pm. I've been studying like a madman for about a month and a half now. However, I am starting to freak out. The more I study, the worse my practice scores get

The GRE sucks. I took it in September. I had studied for it but there were a lot of concepts that I just wasn't getting. But when I would take the powerprep tests, I was scoring well into the 600s on both sections. Then I went in and took the test and get a 410 on Q and 600 on V. I took another one last week. I studied and actually got some of the concepts I didn't before. I felt much more prepared. I knew stuff that I didn't know before. I went through big chunks of the GRE Math Bible annd I was scoring really well. When I went into the test, I was in panic attack mode. I thought I was going to get a migraine. I was also exhausted from the stress of it. When I got to the Q, I didn't know half of the problems presented! Even though I had studied and studied, they still found concepts that I hadn't tackled or mastered. I was taking the test and actually thinking about what my plan b was going to be because I wasn't going to get into grad school. I almost started crying at one point, because it was so hard adn I was guessing at so many of them. I finished up, and got a 590 on Q!! It is a damned crap shoot for a lot of us
