what are you working out of. If its kaplan don't worry. WHen i took their tests i almost cried. Just keep working on your speed. Kaplan GRE/GMAT book is good for math! only 18 dollars.

I wish I could cry like that, sounds fun 😉 At this point, I am so devastated I cannot even have any emotions... 😱 😡

I did all the practice tests (7 total) n go over every single question after i've done. Just make sure that the real test QR is easier than Kaplan subject test. Btw, the 1st QR practice test i got 9 out of 25... horrible 🙁 i did wanna kill myself after that... but well... it's getting better ... just practice...

Good luck everyone. We can do it.

so its not just so much the algabraic problems but it's the WORD problems that kill me, and I don't know how much I can do to prepare for these since most word probs are very different from the next.

I hope (& pray) that I am better than that. I'll take the test 2-3 weeks after I receive my 1-800 number.
