Okay, so I took (on zero prep) a practice GRE* online today and scored as follows:
Verbal: 161
Math: 157
(Writing: not yet scored)

Of course, this is on the New New Revised GRE, which is scored from 130-170, not from 200-800 like the old GRE. And since it is so very new (released in August 2011), they won't even publish the new percentiles until November (when they have a statistically significant sample, apparently).

Soooo... how am I supposed to know how I did?!? Arrgh!

Also, I take issue with some of the questions where they marked me wrong -- there are places where their idea of "right" is different from mine, which I accept, but I definitely think there were a few places where I *did* choose the answer they wanted and it STILL came out marked "wrong"!

*Just pondering opening up my options for next year. Nothing interesting to report at present.

Anyway, it's clearly time to go take a shower. Or something.

Also, happy birthday to
