Just an update, I did a hell of a lot better on the GRE than I thought I would!! So excited about that, now I can relax a bit!

I'm plan on going to grad school to get my MA in English/Comp-Rhetoric so most of the schools I've looked into only look at my verbal score. The first time I took a practice GRE was earlier this summer (In June when I first heard of the GRE). My verbal was a 142. I have studied but not as much as I wanted. I'm still really nervous and know that my score is low. I was hoping to know what a "decent" verbal might be?

I have to take the GRE as most graduate bound students do, but I am stricken with fear. I am absolutely afraid I will do horrible on the GRE, I'm so afraid to the point where I honestly believe when I take it and do horrible I won't get into any graduate programs. I studied over the summer but stopped for a while and now I take it this Saturday. Any advice to calm the nerves? Also, what is a bad score?!
