GRE... :S

Hi Family,

This is a post to ask for your prayers. Tomorrow at noon I will be taking the GRE (Graduate Record Examination) in Sioux City, IA. I am slightly nervous as this will have some bearing on my graduate school applications and acceptance. I am hoping to earn a good score (that being a score I am satisfied with and falls within the averages of the graduate schools to which I am applying), so that I do not have to take it again during this semester. So, if you think of it, I would appreciate your prayers for tomorrow: safe travel, calm heart, clear mind, and most of all, a great score!

I have been studying for the past two weeks (total of 6 days with a break for Katie's wedding alst weekend), so I feel fairly prepared-- as prepared as one can be for a standardized test, so hopefully it all goes well.

Now that I think about it, Shane is taking graduate coursework... Jody, did he have to take the GRE? If so, any advice?

Thanks all!

Love,
Darci

Hi Darci! Good luck! I'm sure you'll do awesome!! Shane did take a test for Grad school- i think it was the GMAT though... not sure how different that is from the test you're taking. He studied some just like u and did well. He's golfing tonight so I'll ask him later and see if he has any great advice :)

Thanks for the prayers! It definitely helped. I am fairly satisfied with the test results (by "fairly" I mean, I am a perfectionist and I did not do perfect--which is pretty much impossible). So, actually, I am quite happy about my scores! Thanks again!
