  1. I like editing my own work, but it takes me ages to start writing a first draft. Being a perfectionist and a procrastinator is a deadly combo! This site has been a godsend to me these past several months: http://writeordie.drwicked.com You set yourself a word goal and a time limit, and type away into a text box. If you don't keep writing, the script starts deleting what you've already written. Nothing like fear to keep you writing
  2. My experimental section came up at the end of my exam and was clearly identified as a second quantitative that would not count toward my score. I was bleary-eyed and exhausted by that time, but since ETS actually offered a cash incentive to the highest scorers on that section (yes, seriously - I believe it was $250), I gave it a shot. There were a lot of numeric entry-type questions (the ones that'll appear on the new GRE) plus some other kinds - unfortunately, I don't remember what those were. I studied exclusively from the Powerprep software because based on my and others' experience, it gives you the most accurate predictions of your score. The software has 2 full-length tests and they're computer adaptive, so as your test-taking ability improves, you'll get a slightly different set of questions every time you take them. But taking them too often will familiarize you with the questions, which could lull you into a false sense of security. I took the real GRE twice and both times, I panicked on the quant and completely guessed on the last 10 questions - something Powerprep didn't prepare me for!
