I took the GRE revised general test in Tokyo on 21 Sep. My score was 331; V 161, Q 170. The pattern was VQVQV. This is the first time I took New GRE. But I took the old GRE test three years ago, and the score then was 1300, v 500, quite bad, Q 800. I prepared for this exam for two weeks. I was traveling in Europe for the most of August, and spent some time memorizing some vocabulary. By the time I got back to Tokyo, I almost forgot most of them. I started to take the test seriously at the beginning of Sep and tried my best to memorize as many new words as possible.

I forgot most of the questions, but still would like to share some of the questions with you guys and wish all of you good luck.
