GRE
I am stupider than I was in high school. Quantitatively 400 points stupider. Okay, not "stupider" since a "standardized test is not an accurate measure of intelligence." Blah blah blah. I still feel stupid. Fine. I mean I didn't mind standardized tests much in high school because back then my scores said I was a brilliant little sh.t with a bright future.
I love Gabby. Anyway, I have to say that I'm feeling the same way right now. I just took a Princeton Review practice GRE (one verbal and one math section) and although my math score was about 90 points higher than my highest SAT score (good), my verbal went down by at lot. And how much is "a lot"? Oh, only 360 points (!).
Good thing I'm not teaching this year. I'm drowning in shame. In fact, I even deleted the results of the practice exam (destroying the evidence is good).
I took the exam at work and was very distracted. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
