Math is ridiculously easy. Almost too easy. In fact you will probably mark some of the answers incorrectly because you're thinking too hard about it because you think "there's no way this question is this easy." It is.

Vocab is fucking ridiculous but for the opposite reason. I swear I pretty much just guessed on everything and hoped for the best.

Essays are okay I guess.

I'm the type of person that gets burned out easily on tests and then just stop caring about it.

You normally start with 2 essays, then you get math or vocab (or vice versa).

It's all on the computer. At least mine were.

Oh and the test is expensive, at least for me.

Just an example of the GRE vocab. Kudos to you if you find it easy but I certaintly didn't.

DENIGRATE
EXCULPATE
PAUCITY
PEJORATIVE
REPUDIATE
POLYGLOT
FRISSON
HISTRIONIC
INOCHOATE
INIMITABLE
MENDICANT
OPALECENT
OPULENCE

Example Question:

Subject: Analogies

PECCADILLO: TRIFLING ::
(A) pariah: popular
(B) diagnosis: accurate
© notion: farfetched
(D) squabble: petty
(E) pursuit: trivial


and fyi, these example words and questions are actually easier than on the actual GRE test.

Also if you are taking the test and the questions start getting easier, it means you've been doing poorly so the computer starts giving you easier questions so you can up your score.

Good luck ^_^

Yeah, I just got the review book. I am a former latin student so I thought the vocab would be a piece of cake but it looks surprisingly tough.
