I'm glad I wrote when it was still multiple choice. I'm sure I would have done worse if it was written.

The only drag with doing the whole test, is that I had to do two analyical sections as the first was proposed questions which didnt count towards your score (they don't let you know which is which) and I did horrible on that one. Actually, I didnt even finish all the questions. And I swear, that some of the questions didnt even have the right answer. (At least by my calculations).

Anyway, when the second analytical section came up at the end, I was very much relieve and scored very well. It was not until the end of the test, however, that I realized the first test was bogus as evidenced from my final score. All I can do is thank God!

Although I don't know for sure, I believe my school looked at the final score and not just at verbal and quantitative sections, which helped me out a bit. I have always been curious when people tell me their school only looks at verbal and quantitative scores, since one might think that analytical thinking is related to critical thinking. But then again, seeing as the analytical section was my best score, I might simply be biased.

I'll be taking the "new" GRE on Jan 22...ahhh!!!! Anyhow, I let ya all know how bad it is :)

As far as scoring, I suggest going to the website http://www.gre.org for details

I do know that the verbal and quantitative parts have not changed. They will be scored the same. The analytical section is writing and it will be graded from 1-6. So now it is pretty much out of 1600 plus the 1-6 for the writing section..... the topics that you could be asked for the writing section are actually posted on the GRE website.... pretty cool I thought but it is quite a long list...

KAPLAN's is GREAT. I really liked the CD-ROM, it has a pre-test to diagnose your weak points and also has games to help study verbal and quant sections.
