GRE?

[nwlife]

Anyone have any idea of how to quickly study for the math section of this test?  Especially since it has been so many years since I last took this test, and many more since I last delt with a math class.

Get a copy of the GRE book from the library and look it up.

hmm........

What kind of program are you applying to?  It may or may not matter what your math scores are in the end lol.

Changing from Masters of Div. to the Masters of Theological Studies. 

Before when I applied to Oral Roberts Univ., I would have been on automatic probation because I didn't pass the GRE.  I missed by less then 100 points their target range for entrance thanks to the math.

I know it shouldn't make a difference, but for some odd reason colleges like to see if you can do trig. and algerbra.

A lot of it has to do with the fact that the ability to do math, while not directly related to a lot of fields, shows a capability for problem solving, analytical thinking, and the like. And for a lot of people, shows whether they are willing to learn/work at something they don't like, which'll happen in every field on occasion.

At least, this is what my teacher informed a class of mine.

Math is NOT my strong point.

Well, I'm a good problem-solver, do things I hate, think analytically many times, about real problems, not numbers. I HATE ADVANCED MATH. Just do what you need to do to get through the class and immediately forget it, kinda like Spanish.

There are people who have a math dyslexia, and there are many who just don't see the reasoning in numbers. They can reason in many other areas, math isn't a good indicator of problem-solving. It's a good indicator of how well you do math.

i tend to agree. I am extremely analytical, a great problem solver, deal with doing things I prefer not to, and have an outrageous spurt of creativity, but math and me do NOT get along.

[Sis]

Are you my twin?

[Gingerale]
