The strategies for taking it by computer or by paper are very different. I've done both, so I can talk to you about strategies for dealing with the computer version. (Hint: It will seem stressful while you're taking it, but if you understand how it works, that will help

I'll be taking it by computer and oh good, that's all very useful to know and I can easily go and grab one of those books. Thank you.

I just picked up the Kaplan book and that's very good to know since math stuff is kind of my bane.

What Lexie said times three. Unless you have a really concrete reason, keep your scores.

The way the computer test works, you may very well think you did terribly, when in fact you did fine. That's because the computer test will set the difficulty of each question based on how well you did on the questions before it. So it's very possible most of the questions will seem on the hard side, and you shouldn't be surprised by that.

It's kinda evil, really. But if you know the deal beforehand, I think it's much easier to cope with.
