The most difficult section for me was the quantitative. I scored above the 80th percentile on both verbal and writing, but did not do so well on the quant. I still got into my program of choice, though, by addressing my quantitative abilities in my statement. I really hate the GRE (and other standardized tests). I think it indicates so little about one’s abilities, in comparison to other admissions credentials like letters of rec, written work, etc.

Well, math was difficult, but I studied and got a 670, more than my SAT score in the same subject. Verbal was quite difficult b/c I totally neglected reviewing it, and the score reflects that poor decision (580).
All in all, I still got into the only grad program I applied to.
