Today I took the GREs. The GREs are lame. I was hoping to do as well on them as I did on the SATs, but I didn't. I don't have any idea what my score means. I got a 1210...is that good? I think it's probably ok.
The GREs are weird. You can't go back and change your answers. You just sit at a computer and click away. I didn't know what a lot of the words were. And I spent too much time thinking of whether the question in front of me was harder than the one before. (If you get a question right, the computer gives you a harder question while raising your score. So you start with a medium-level question and then narrow down, or i guess narrow up, your score from there.)
When I went in the guy read me the pre-test speech. I stopped him in the middle to ask a question, and he told me not to ask. Then he was like, oh now I'm all messed up.
How am I supposed to know if I don't asK?
Well anyhow, since I don't like being reprimanded (if you could give me a computer adaptive test to see how little I like it, it would show that I like it less than the average person), I sat there and sulked a little. Then the guy was like, oh you just need a sense of humor about all this.
uhhhhhhhhhhhhh....ok, the guy was clearly a guy who hated his job. He never smiled. He reprimanded me. And he tells me to get a sense of humor????
I am usually told to be more serious, not to get a sense of humor. They say a sense of humor is a sign of intelligence. And since my sense of humor was in a bad mood when i went into the test, then I was less intelligent.
But I don't wanna take the test over.
