Has anyone taken the GRE?

[sklineho]

So I took the GRE today. In a word.........wow. The essay parts were straightforward as was the verbal section. The verbal one is set up just like the questions in the Kaplan study guide. Some of the vocabulary is obscure, and I've got a pretty extensive vocabulary, comparatively.

The math parts on the other hand, not so much. The Kaplan guide was way off. The material is sound but the way they ask the questions is odd. Most (80% probably) asked you the same thing: "Which set is larger, A or B".

I got a combined of 304. I'm told this is a tint inch above average. I'd like to have done better but it should be enough for my grad school application. (WFU has no set score but would like at least 300, so I'm a hair above that). This thing was not fun but it's doable.

Also, to answer my own previous question, the scoring rubric is as follows:

Each of the two tests is scored on a scale of 130-170. These scores combine to make your final score. So the highest score (sans the essay, which is graded separately on a 0-6 scale) is 340.

My scores were Verbal -153 and Quantative - 151. Essentially this means I did worse than I thought I would on verbal and better on math apparently. I felt comfortable on verbal so I'm a bit confused. I'm not sure if all questions are weighted the same, I assume they aren't.

From most things I've read including my own grad schools requirements, if you hit over 300 you did ok.
