Not Bad, Overall :)
Hi, everyone! I survived the test, but it definitely was draining. At first, I felt horrible about it because of the questions that I didn't know the answer to- but then I thought about all the ones I *did* know, and felt better.
I didn't practice pacing enough...so I didn't finish all the questions - but I did do the "several pass" method and answered all the ones I knew the answers for. I did leave a chuck of them blank -- mostly only the ones that I had no clue about. I think Princeton Review wants us to guess and answer every question, because they consider there to be a 'guessing bonus' (in that we will get some of those wild guess ones correct, outweighing the guessing penalty from the quarter points lost by the ones we got wrong), but I just went ahead on my own instincts and left the "I have no clue" ones blank. We'll have to see how that turns out, when I get my score! I feel that I did decently enough to apply with my score, knowing that the other parts of the application do matter more.
Now I've got a ton to do...I still have to take the regular GRE (quickly) and get all the other parts of my applications ready. The deadlines are approaching! Is anyone else going nuts besides me? HEHE, I bet we all are, to some extent. I'm a notorious procrastinator, but I do seem to pull off feeling good about my end products.
