So, I just recently(about a month ago) decided to go to grad school for Higher Education. I'm an Education major, so I had never even given it a thought before, and now it is all coming at me so fast. I take the GRE on the 23rd or June, and considering the excessive amount of tests Education majors have to pass to get certified, I figured it couldn't be that bad.
How wrong I was.
I've taken a few practice tests (mostly the verbal section) and find myself constantly doing horribly. We're talking 50% and below. Has anyone else had this problem? Anyone have words of encouragement? Tips? Tricks? Anything. I've been stressing out pretty throughly for this, and considering the sheer amount of words they suggest you learn (200?) I feel that it wouldn't be a good idea to try and memorize as many as I could in such a small time.
My GPA is better than solid, and my Resume is pretty legit, so I dunno how badly a poor GRE score would affect me. Do you think it's ok to at first choose to not send my score out until I see what it is, then fork over the money to do it?
I dunno, a lot of questions, a lot of confusion. I hope I can get some help.
