Ok, so I took the GRE today for the first time. I did pretty well on the verbal section (720), but my math score is absolutely horrible (490). I'm going to take a wild guess and say that not studying at all for math led to that depressing number. I'm only applying to English masters programs this fall. I'm okay with the verbal score, although I think if I take the exam again I can do better; but what I'm really concerned about is math. I feel like it makes me look borderline retarded. Do you think it's worth it to drop another $160 to improve my Q score? Do graduate programs even pay attention to that section?
