i am an international student..i got 1460 in GRE..i don't think GRE has much use for US students...U guys already know english well...No need for antonyms and synonyms...also quants is also silly to take for a BS guy who has gud enough GPA.
in my country , those who take gre really mug up words in barron and all..usually they get top scores. I dnt think an American student ,with all their distractions and the seeming stupidity of this test, will be able to do like this. (mug up and really devote themselves for this test )
However IF internationals are being evaluated using GRE scores, i dnt think it can be avoided for American students. (unfair it seems)
