Its all good, I probably won't need to take it again. After today i'd guess my score is sufficient considering my experience. I really appreciate the information though.

I knew the once per calendar month thing. I just didn't know you could do it like that. I'm taking it tomorrow, we'll see how it goes. I took a practice on the powerprep software, got an 1100 but i wasn't trying too hard and was definitely not in a good environment. I feel good about it, especially now that it seems I can take it next week if I need to. Appreciate the info guys, who's applying this round?

Thank you for the tips. Especially the last one. It seems that on the antonym part, I was marking the synonym (or closest thing to it) last time. I think that should help some. I'm more concerned about the verbal since I pulled off a 700 on the quant last time. I don't think it will be a waste, but it wont be as desirable of a result than it would had i studied. Either way, I don't have the $50 to waste. Maybe I will try to download some material via torrents and look them over for the next few days. Memorizing the directions (and answer choices) should help considerably though. I appreciate it. Wish me luck!

How much did you guys study for the GRE (if at all)? I have to take it in three days and I haven't really looked at any material yet. I took it about 3 years ago though, didn't study then either. I guess that's why i'm taking it again.

Hey guys, I'm a little late at replying to this, but I have been lurking this message board for a few days and decided to seize an opportunity and post up. This was especially important since you both are interested in religion, my main research interest. It's pretty hard to come by people who name it as their main interest. I'm coming from a bit of a different circumstance than the both of you. I am 23, and I just graduated (August) with my MA in Applied Sociology from the University of Central Florida. Currently I am preparing for the whole application process, and have some of the schools you guys mentioned in my top (good mention on Baylor, especially if you have a research interest in religion). Anyway, I presented at the ASR and ASA this year (they were both in San Fran during the same time), too bad I hadn't found this site before then. Sounds like we all have our doubts, yet are aiming quite high. I guess I should stop rambling (save it for an 'advice' post or something) and say GOOD LUCK to everyone applying.
