Becca thinks it’s important
I was convinced soon after I finished my big breakfast of pancakes and eggs to take a practice GRE. This wasn’t really the best thing I had to do on a saturday morning, ninja turtles was on, but I decided to humor my wife and do it. So I finished the general test (verbal and math) in about 45 minutes. My final math score was a respectable 540, and my verbal score was 600. My dear sweet wife thinks that this score is impressive, she did take a year of graduate studies so I trust her judgement on these things. She wont tell me what her scores were though… hmmm. She is definately better than me at math, but that’s no surprise. Just so you know, the GRE is taken by college seniors looking to get accepted by graduate schools. Only about %10 of college grads take the GRE, in this segment of the population my verbal score earned me an 85 percentile rank, and the math score was a still surprising 39 percentile, considering I only took math through college algebra, and that was about 4 years ago.
I sound incredily vain saying all these things about my intelligence, this is really something that Becca wants me to put up here, apperantly she just wants to live vicariously through my verbal score. One thing I really fear is that someone will now get the idea that I should go to grad school. But luckily, despite my GRE scores, I’m certain that my 2.85 GPA will preclude me from attending any graduate schools.
Oh, and work is going really well now. So, I’m pretty happy about that.
