Merrill Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 I took the GRE yesterday in order to continue on and do my PhD in English. Naturally, my score was pretty heavily on the verbal side (Verbal: 640, Quantitative: 450 -not including writing section). One thing that infuriated me, was that the reading comprehension questions didn't put the text in paragraph form above the questions. Instead, the ETS sticks the selection into a "side-bar" that can only fit three words accross at one time. It was next to impossible to read, on a 14 inch monitor! This was clearly intentional. Did anyone else have the same experience? This cost me about 100 points on my verbal, and I wasn't happy. Fortunately, I still did pretty well in that section. Now here is my next question. Has anyone taken the GRE Subject test in English Literature? Does ETS jam the selections into a tiny side-bar? Or is the format different?

tashkenty Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 Merrill, I think the GRE Subject Test in English Literature is offered in a paper-based format. So, no more hassles in scrolling through tiny side-bars... Wish u luck. Btw, cool verbal score. I wish I could achieve that score someday...
