If I didn't bomb my first Lr I think I'll be fine. But I felt really nervous for at least half of the section

95% of my friends IRL are republicans. But I am in Orange County.

You get you unofficial GRE score as soon as you are done. All you wait on is the writing sample to be scored.

Don't you receive your score immediately when you take the GRE because it's online.

For the GMAT, you get an unofficial score report as soon as you finish. A friend just took it. Lol

They don't even grade our essays, so they could totally give us our scores earlier and then handle the essays afterwards.

Doesn't it have to do with the scaling and the curve? Or do they make the curve beforehand?

I thought they made the scaling / curve by testing the sections beforehand as experimentals

I'd imagine RC would be a hassle on the computer if you're the type that goes back to the passage a lot.

I actually drilled RC on the computer pretty often because the idea of printing off hundreds of pages of Cambridge packets just killed me. It wasn't ideal but I didn't find it too terrible.

Same here, but they let us use two of the tiny flip-out desks, so at least my pencils/erasers/kleenex weren't also taking up space
