But I agree, it's a stupid test. My first score was something like 1200, so you'll get better if you take it more. |
Just shows how little it's got to do with intelligence IMO. I took the test, not knowing anything about it until 2 months before the test. Bought some prep. books and started with ridiculous scores like 520 (math). Having learned the technique and the types of questions ( the exact wording since english aint my mother tongue) I improved up to 730 but scored lousy 690 on the test day. (I wont mention the poor 550 on the verbal part, where i just could catch up all the necessary vocabulary. oops i just did ) It's just a way to earn money on the one hand (books, courses etc.) and save time on the other hand (why look at the individual achievements of each applicant when u got those beautiful numbers?). Oh well....I guess I'm just fed up having gone through this tireseome process (including TOEFL and SAT2s) and receiving one NO after another. I should have gone straight to some UNI here, wothout wasting time, money and nerves
