Is this true about Gallaudet?

um... see post #211. and he's the English major (grad student)... a writer... You'd fail it. Wouldn't be surprised if you had to take it twice. It's normal. nothing to be ashamed about.

Blah. It's still annoying to add the writing section. I'll be happy to do away with the writing section and do Verbal and Math section as it was with the old SAT.
 
the worst part is.... the computer-based GRE will re-adjust its test as according to your level and it will get progressively difficult.

the standardized test was a joke. and an insult.

I took it with one of my eyes closed cuz it was early in the morning. I always finished each section about 30 min before everybody else. Maybe there was 1 or 2 persons who finished it before me but either way... I napped and drooled on my test. Pissed me off cuz I had to redo the answer sheet. :roll:

There are plenty of people who can do well on a standardized test, but when it comes time to actually expressing themselves intelligently and articulately, they are completely inept. The writing section of the GRE is in place because being able to write well is a very important part of graduate school. Publishing articles and research findings is a fact of life in graduate school and academia, and a university will want you to be competent and capable in this area. For many disciplines, the writing section is probably the most important thing they look at from on your test score.
