Don't worry your help is much appreciated! The links were great. It is people like you, who make sites like this one work. I will have plenty of time (1 yr), so I imagine for funding's sake a retake might be wise. I think the bolded line is what will help me relax while taking it the next time. That alone will improve my score.

Magoosh is 99$ and it seems like they have the best lessons, and a good range of problems. All the problems have video and text solutions.

Congrats on UT, After looking my quant is high enough for a lot of the programs I am interested in. Do you think contacting POI's at some stage and asking them about the score is wise or foolish? I know you can make time to study for both of them. I spend all of my free time trying to better my understanding of geology.

I took the GRE on a whim on christmas break to see what I could pull off. 305 combined GRE 154 Quant (60th) 151 Verbal (49th) Writing was 4.0 (49th) I have been in contact with a bunch of schools and I will be attending some conferences to meet with a few of the professors. A lot of websites list 300 as the minimum. I am wondering if retaking it with more preperation would be wise? Maybe focusing on the science and research would make more sense? Should I ask the professors I am meeting up with if 300 is acceptable? Or should I just ask them in an email. I know I can get a higher score, but I also know that being as knowledgable about the science as I can is what will get me through grad school. - Thanks
