GRE Flashcards

I made flashcards to help me out with math stuff.

Here's a few:
y = mx + b
Area of triangle = 1/2bh
Blog < Hockey
Matt = Busy
Mica = Critical Bastard

You do know that i am like a math GENIUS!! well up until vector calculus.. and then i just lack the motivation :) And just to reaffirm .. BLOG is definitely 'less than' HOCKEY! I got nothing on the mica one.

Good luck studying while watching the KINGS!

love, punk gaga

p.s. You really should have taken the GRE last year when there wasn't a hockey season to distract you ;)

The Official Sandblower GRE Study Strategy:

Borrow GRE book from friend. Place on bookshelf for one year.

After one year: Get really drunk and decide to apply to grad school for following year.

Two months later: Begin thinking about actually registering for GRE. Check to make sure GRE book is still on shelf.

Two months after that: Actually register for GRE, picking date 1 month before grad school applications are due.

Three days before test date: Look frantically for book loaned by friend, and discover that the dust bunnies probably ate it. Take practice test on CD sent by GRE people.

Two days before test date: Demand that Husband or other nearby computer geek/math tutor to explain the math problems that you keep getting wrong but that seem familiar enough that you figure you probably learned how to do them in high school. Ignore math problems that you keep getting wrong that seem to be from another planet. Figure that it's too late to learn any ostentatiously flourishing vocubulary words.

Test date: Get lost on way to testing center. Take test. Cry when you see verbal score. Tell yourself that top choice school has later deadline anyhow, an you can always re-take the test. Buy self ice cream and jewelry before driving home.

A few weeks later: Get official scores in mail. Realize percentiles aren't too bad. Decide retaking the test would just add more stress.

7 months after test date: Pack up to move to go to first choice graduate school. Find friend's GRE study book. Oops.
