I checked the website, you can not mark questions on the GRE. Sorry about giving you the wrong information.

thanks anyway. I just thought I majorly screwed up the test, by not understanding the directions. I went back to the 2000-2001 .Kaplan book and the question will take back to the directions. They even suggested reading the directions in their book as not to waste any further time. I really wish they would let us take the paper version. I have however taken a course through the University Of Pittsburgh. They gave several helpful hints and test taking ideas. I spoke with another person taking the GRE review course through a community college. She stated it turned into a math class. Thanks again.

suzi,

May I recommend the Kaplan Review, cd-rom version mentioned earlier. It was the best for me........and I took 2 years reviewing and buying book after book to study for the GRE's. You name the book, and I have it on my bookshelf (lol). The Kaplan CD Rom was the best.......and was the closest thing to actually taking the exam on the computer. Good Luck........and you will improve your score!
