I took it in July...and, yes, it is a very tough test; however, it is like anything else in life--you can expect to get out of it whatever you are willing to put into it. During the month of June, I spent every bit of extra time I had to prepare for that exam. I bought a ton of shortcut & prep books to prepare for all three aspects of the GRE. (Admittedly, I needed to do a great deal of brushing up on most areas, due to a poor vocabulary and math skills). Buy them, check them out from the library, whatever...but take the test seriously! There are a ton of free practice tests online, simply "google" them to get started. Also, the best $20 I, personally, spent during the entire process, was on a "SAT" vocabulary prep CD that I listened to on my way to and from work. Whatever your personal needs are...simply, address them and prepare yourself properly!!! One more thing...I almost "cancelled" my scores at the end of the GRE testing session because I truly felt that I had bombed the exam. I didn't because of a blurb in the Kaplan review book that strongly discouraged cancelling out your scores despite any misgivings that you might be experiencing test day. I am VERY glad that I didn't cancel those scores without seeing them...I scored 1330 (V=590, M=740) with a 5.5 on writing. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!

I applied to ODU's program for 2008. I was just wondering...If there were any other applicants out there that had heard from them to schedule an interview, or actually had an interview, etc.???
