  1. I did horrible on my GRE even though I studied A LOT. My practice tests I did well, but exam day - uggh. It's like EVERYTHING I studied wasn't on there. I ended up with a 154 Verbal and 147 Quant. My grades are high though, and I have a lot of field experience/volunteer experience and a conference paper. I'm hoping that, as well as my letters of rec make up for my poor test scores. 

    I have anxiety when it comes to tests like the GRE, and I find that the test itself is unfair. :/  Good luck.

    It seems I've finally found my cohort!! I took the dumb test last year after admittedly half-assed (because I was still in school) preparation. However, I just retook it a few days ago after studying for weeks and did almost exactly the same; my goal was to break 160. NOPE. Everything on test day was like 3 times harder and more unfamiliar than anything I'd done to prepare, and thus I'm stuck with almost the same scores as before. My SAT experience was so similar and I hate that those of us with high GPAs but terrible standardized testing skills just have to suffer the consequences.

  2. I'm kind of in the same boat - I actually just retook the GRE to try and do better than I did last year and I ended up in nearly the same exact range as last year (still waiting on AWA). I was panicking that scores in the 150s wouldn't get me in anywhere I'm looking but this is reassuring. Time to knock out that SoP I guess...
