Why are anglos need thousands of formal words to communicate? How am I supposed to memorize all of them?
Why is it a requirement for engineering schools? How is this gonna help me become a good engineer?

Fuck off retard. The GRE was literally designed to filter retards like you to keep you from shitting up our grad-schools.

Is the GRE challenging?
>>
>>7732094
Fuck no. The subject GREs might be somewhat difficult, but the general GRE is even easier than the SAT/ACT.
>>
>>7731452
>implying english is the unique language in first world.

>>7732228
Whether or not it's easy is subjective. There are some questions that are difficult to do quickly, which is what matters.

The fact of the matter is that you're competing directly with everyone else who takes it that year, so even if it is easy, it's easy for everyone, and if it's hard, it's hard for everyone. That's how percentiles work.

I'm pretty sure GRE is more to make sure you aren't retarded (like OP) than to serve as a competitive grade. Very few departments will care what you scored on a GRE, the grad-schools you get into is about who you know and what previous research experience you have (more importantly if it's related to the department's research).

It's why I find it so hilarious that all these third worlders are working their ass off on grades to apply to MIT for the brand name, when they don't have chance in hell of getting in since most research groups at MIT like every other university pick their grad-students based on what researchers they need, which comes down to students from universities they collaborate with or are otherwise familiar with.

You should be applying to schools in your network if you actually want to get in to grad-school, not random shit high on THE's list.

>slams head into floor
