For those of you who care, I scored an embarrassing 620 on verbal and 730 on math, with essays yet to be scored... I was having a bad analogy day. Although my math score on the SAT was higher, too, and I got the same number of questions wrong on each part... go figure. But while this may look sadly low to me, it's still far above average, and I shouldn't need to worry about retaking anything unless I'm trying to apply for academic scholarships, which I don't need to worry about this week, at any rate. Instead I should be worrying about what to do with the rest of my day... I mean, there's so much of it left...

--Ok, according to the GRE publications, this is 87th percentile for verbal, and about 75th for math, which makes a bit more sense. Though why, if they're going to mess with the scoring anyway, they don't make it percentile-based in some way, I thoroughly don't understand.

They give standardized tests on computers now? That is absolutely horrifying. What's wrong with the bubble sheets?

Instant feedback! scantron forms have to be run through a machine first.

And the computer tests modify themselves to customize the difficulty of the questions to the level at which you're answering them.
