Poor verbal score on actual GRE

[Ajaxanon]

With regard to word lists, I learned plenty of them, but fumbled on the actual GRE. I am also a prolific reader, and read classic novels like they're going out of fashion...oh no wait..they've already gone out of fashion. oh well i read em anyway. This did not help me much on GRE test day though. I think there were only one or two words that came up that I had studied from all the lists. One of them was (and I'm not suppose to divulge this info, so this is an apostrophe, a conceit, or a soliloquy for all who care :P) 'pusillanimous' - Pretty straight forward word if you've seen it before.

I was getting 700 - 720 for Verbal on test preps, including PP, but ended up with a measly 610 on actual GRE. RC's weren't too bad, but SC's had their sordid way with me...in practise tests I had had no trouble with them, but guess nerves got the better of me on the day..oh well. Funny though because I managed a 770 on Quan as an English Major. I would think that nerves would play more of a role there. Anyway, I will not retake the test for this reason...I doubt I would do so well on quan a second time round. c'est la vie. 1380 is not a bad score
