I took my GRE about 2 years ago. I love how you get your scores right then and there.
As long as you got the grades that will get you into your Grad program, is all that matters.
Congratulations on finishing! Now to Grad school you go!"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather, to skid in broadside thoroughly used-up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: WOW WHAT A RIDE!!!!"

When I took the GRE it was only offered twice a year. You had to pack into a huge lecture hall with a bunch of other stressed-out students and a #2 pencil. There were proctors and monitors and time limits. If you got sick or your car broke down on the way, you had to wait another six months to take the test.
And I think I waited 2 months to get my results.

Woo-hoo, Meaux! So nice to have that over with!
I had the same panic as you, Knot, when I applied to grad school something like 9 years after I'd taken the GRE--fortunately, my school accepted the old scores too. Whew--bullet definitely dodged there!

When I took the GRE I had to travel 2 hours out of state because the then governor of New York would not allow the test to be given within NY because the test questions were not made public after the exam. The upside was that during the overnight hotel stay I got to know the person I later dated and married. Originally Posted by KnottedYet
