Update:

I got my final scores:

Verbal 800 99%
Quant 730 78%
AWA 5.5 N/A

I am reasonably satisfied with my AWA score. I owe a great debt of gratitude to Erin and the 'Magicians.

Thanks

This what the screen said:

Quantative 730

Nope, I am not kidding. I am not joking either. And I surely hope I am not hallucinating ?

Erin, is this a mistake ? Could it be V 730 and Q 800 and the computer has got it all wrong ?

If this is correct, is 730 for Q enough to apply for a PhD in Comp. Sci. ? Would they at all take into account my V score ?

Thanks a million.

I will write more when I get home.

P.S. I got 740 for Verbal and 720 for Math for SAT. This is turning out to be a pattern.

Wow!

Well, you are definitely strong in verbal, Ro. So I woudn't be surprised if you aced the verbal.

But since your major is CS, I'd also hope you'd ace the Quant. So yes, it's a bit surprising. I was thinking you'd get 800 Quant, 750-800 Verbal.

At any rate, Congrats!! A 1530 is always a great score, no matter what!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!,!,ULTIMATE VERBAL SCORE!,740 in Q is not bad either

, considering that you might ace in writing assessment too, you wouldn't have any problems with getting admit in Univ of your choice.Congrats again and best of luck!

Thanks Erin,

Although I am a wee bit disappointed with Quantative score, I am over the moon about Verbal. Not in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would ever ace the verbal. I am deeply shocked.

I completely forgot to tell you guys about the essay part. I don't know whether I am allowed to mention the essay topics I got due to the confidentiality agreement I signed. But I think they went swimmingly well.

I never wrote the Issue topic before the exam, but I critiqued an essay on the same topic. So I was well prepared. I have to add here that (constructively) criticising other people's essays helped me a LOT.

I had not done the arg topic either, but it was a fairly straightforward one, and I didn't have any difficulty refuting the assumptions. However, I think that essay was bit sketchy, because I was in a hurry. I felt the clocks were going too fast. Is it just me, or is ETS playing with the space time continuum.

Anyway, all's well that ends relatively well. I can say for sure that I would have never got this score if not for Erin, and the rest of the TMians. A huge

THANK YOU

to all the TMians.

Okay, Erin, one more question before I end this post. Do you think that my perfect V score will compensate my not-so-perfect Q score ?

Hey Amigo, U DID IT!!! I am very happy for u!!... CONGRATULATIONS.....Dont worry about ut quant score....Apparently quant scores have come down a lot....Even my score was not a perfect one (Inspite of me being a CS major and also inspite of me scoring a perfect 800 back in 98 when I took my GRE for my first master's). I talked with one of the top adcomms and they said that they'll scale down their admission criteria accordingly......

JUST ENJOY UR 'HANGOVER" and then u got a really big task ahead...UR ADMISSION PROCESS....Anyway GRE score is not the only one that'll make or break the application.

GOOD LUCK AND HEARTY CONGRATULATIONS,
_Sri.

Hey AmigoRo,

CONGRATULATIONS!! You've CRACKED it !!

Wish you all the best!! I dont think your quant score will matter so much ... your command over English itself proves how intelligent you are !!

and sorry .. I couldn't reply to your question soon ... was a little busy ... I didn't spend any time on the pc ...

I am sure you will crack the essays too !!

All the luck.
