Naps are always a good post test score thing. I am sure you did wonderfully on the other part of the test. <3

Can you score 600 on each part? Cause in that case the 570 is pretty good isn't it? What did you have to write about? Something interesting? And did you think it went well? And I'm kind of awed by how fast they hand out the results. It just makes them look real slow on the one 'non-computerized' part.

I'm not certain--a few people seem to think I did fine, one less so, so I have some friends making discreet inquiries for me.

I had to write an argument piece on a sentence about whether people react more strongly to words or images, analyze an argument about education and an analyze an argument about vehicular fatalities. I think I did fine on those--I write a lot so that was the quickest part for me.

so, the average verbal score for 2004-2008 was around 460. (your quantative probably won't matter because lit departments could care less about your ability to do math. NO lit professors even understand the general concept of math and why people would test for it. this is like a general rule. ;-) )

AND, the average verbal score for Columbia during those years was 530. (according to internet sources). so it seems you did pretty darn good on the verbal, which for literature, is the only part that counts :D

Your verbal score is nothing to be scoffed at, woman! And the math isn't bad either. Particularly considering your field, where nobody gives a fuck about the math.

Considering I haven't done that kind of math in a decade, I was fairly shocked, honestly!
