Wow CONGRATS ekitten!!! Your story is really awe inspiring!!! You definitely still "got it" =D

I'm so glad i decided to check out this thread, with your story on the top of the pile. Can i ask you something about the Verbal? I'm pretty comfortable with Quantitative, maybe 2 wrong questions or so. But its the verbal that's realllly killing me. My biggest problem is Reading Comprehension.

Whenever I read, if i find the topic unfamiliar it takes me more tries to actually comprehend what i'm reading. This is disasterous when I'm reading under pression for long passages! Sometimes it inhibits me so much that i end up wasting 15 minutes on one long passage and STILL get the answers wrong! I have my test in 2 weeks, do you have any tips/experiences you can pass on?

Also, is it worthwhile to buy the book "Breakthrough Rapid Reading" now that i only have 2 weeks? One more thing...I'm a little at a loss of what i should do to increase my vocab now. The last few days i've been concentrating on BB's Antonym list to get my head around how ETS thinks. Suggestions? =)

REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR SHARING YOUR STORY!!!!

General Question:
There's Normal Graph on the quant section? What kind of questions? This is the first i've heard about it....can someone elaborate?
