It’s been 9 1/2 years :eek: since I took the GRE. I feel old now.
Get off my lawn, you damn kid!
That makes a lot of sense.

<skips across lawn> thanks for making me feel young! I’m 44. <trips and sprains knee and ankle; limps away>
and whoever said it is right-I am in grad school now and it has nothing to do with 9th grade math. For this, I am eternally grateful… 
I must say that contrary to the assertions of my 10th grade math teacher, and incongruent with the GRE’s emphasis, I have had to use geometry perhaps 2 or 3 times in the last 30 years.

You think that’s old? I took it in 1982. Went to grad school then. I took it again in '97, but didn’t go, and took it for the last time early in Spring, and now I’m back in school. It was interesting how consistent my scores were between '97 and '06, just 10 points higher on the quantitative and 10 points lower on the verbal. I attribute the latter to working in IT where we transitivize intransitives, noun verbs, verb nouns, and otherwise slash and burn the language with joy and abandon.

It just doesn’t feel like it’s been that long. That, and I have sneaking feelings of doing nothing with my life since I left college.
I’d be afraid to take it again- I don’t want my feelings of dread that I really am dumber now than I was in college confirmed.
