I am also curious what the language proficiency test is about? Does it mainly consist of some sections of reading comprehension? Will writing in the language be a must?
I have the same concern. I am an international student, but I have completed a MA degree in the US. Being a bad test-taker, I had a 152 verbal, and a 165 quantitative. It seems so lame for applying to a history PhD program.
I feel really frustrated about my poor GRE performance. Should I continue my application?
