study buddy?

i also took most of the diagnostic gmat test. i was really, really worried early in the test. i had no clue how to do some things.. as in not even a idea on how to start figuring something out. then i read about the test.. and found out it's not really a gmat test, but trying to gauge things. an average person should only get like 10 of 24 questions right.

dispite this, i scored poorly. i knew i would. math, ironically, is weak for me.. i say ironically since when i was like 3 what i wanted for my birthday was a calculator and i tested as "gifted" in math as a kiddie.

i must have guessed wicked good on that test.

i did better on the verbal test, but then i always do better on the verbal test.

this means.. that if i am going to take the gmat.. i need to study. really and truly study the math.

i've never had to truly study for something. ever. not even in grad school. in fact, that's one reason why i couldn't recommend where i went to anyone.. i didn't have to truly study and i walked out with a 3.58 gpa.

this might sound cool to some people.. but now faced with a situation where i need to do what i've never done.. let me tell you.. it sucks.

however, if i'm not willing to do it.. then that means phd isn't for me. a question of wanting.

my history says.. i'll flutter to something easier. the next few weeks will tell. i want the test taken this month. i have lots of other prep work to do to apply.. the rest will be "easy", but pointless to do without the gmat score to back it up.

anyone want to be my study buddy?
