I don't know how to respond to specific quotes, but psychkita and westy3789 you're both right. Closing the gap between my Q and V would really boost my overall score, so it would be advantageous to me as an applicant. At the same time, the Q section is has proven uncharacteristically impossible for me to do well on. I even considered shooting for a 165+ on verbal, and kind of giving up on the math aspect. I just don't know what steps to take to guarantee my improvement, and I don't want to waste another $195 to take the test and end up with another BS score (my very first score was a 305 )
psychkita: I want to be a clinical neuropsychologist. The Houston Guidelines (DIV 40) lists doctoral programs that offer qualified training/curriculums for neuropsychology, and they are all clinical psych. Counseling, Social, etc. are of limited interest to me because they aren't the bulk of what I want to do in my career.
