I applied for grad school at a school that didn't require the GRE because I'm scared to death of that test. I don't want to know how stupid I really am. I don't test well at all, so it makes me nervous.

I'm glad you took it and got your results back immediately. When is the next one?

It is not unusual to have a large discrepancy between verbal and math scores. I took the GRE once, many years ago and it confirmed my lack of math ability. However, i still made it into a PhD program, which I eventually left because I decided I wanted to have kids instead...
Anyway, the big difference in the different types of intelligence runs in my family (my kids). Both had verbal SAT scores well into the 700s and math scores in the 500s. The oldest one, who really didn't like math took a prep class and raised his math score 40 points. So, with a little concerted effort, you can improve it.
Of course, it seems that now-a-days everyone is perfect in everything!

I won't get the writing section results back for another month, most likely. My next test date is October 22. Happy freakin' birthday, Owlie.

That's my birthday, too! And I have to give a big presentation to a new client on that day... I'm sure we'll BOTH do great!

Oh, and in my experience (two Masters degrees), GRE scores are not that important to grad school. Not nearly as important as all the other factors, including life and work experience, and the ability to write well.
