Took the general GRE.
Preparing:
Started off severely behind on the math (ex: having never taken a single geometry course, not having used math in 5+ years).
Spent time learning about 800 new words. 25 a day felt slow, 50 a day felt easy, but very time consuming.
Tried Princeton and Kaplan books. Kaplan felt like it was over-preparing me. Princeton felt more my speed.
Thoughts:
The experimental section was extremely obvious to identify.
Every word learned past 500 felt like a waste to me.
Another 500 might've had a marginal increase on my score.
Results:
Estimated score at the end came up 650-750 on both sections.
Expect my lowest possible writing score to be 5.5
