etherialJust got back my GRE scores.
Verbal 610/800 (87th percentile)
Quantitatve 800/800 (94th percentile)
Analytical 6.0/6 (96th percentile)
I'm amazed I got 6s on the writing, I was seriously expecting scores in the 4 and 5 range. People don't generally seem to like my writing style, and spelling and grammar (of which mine is exquisite) aren't counted. I'm rather annoyed by the verbal scoring. I have an extensive vocabulary, yet most of the questions involved words even I didn't know, most of which lacked obvious greek or latin roots.

Date: 2006-08-04 12:58 am (UTC)a 100-point split is considered 'standard' -- that is to say, subjects who receive, for example, 600 verbal 700 quant, are considered to be equally-balanced between both disciplines.
800 quant is very impressive, and considerably better than mine. =)

hopefully that came across more clearly than was scribed.

re: standard
Date: 2006-08-04 04:21 am (UTC)I was pretty surprised about the 800, as I know for a fact that I got one question wrong.
