I'm taking mine on December 1st (same thing, got an MA, want to go on to get a PhD). Dreading it, as I, too, need to get a higher score this time. And this test is just designed to make one fail. Argh! Congrats!!!

You have so much innate skill, so much knowledge and no, the test isn't designed to measure all of those things at which you excel. It's meant to measure how good you'll do in higher education by setting a minimum baseline, and that's all. And it's not always accurate at measuring that attribute. It's just a hoop, that's all. Give it your best focus and concentration, give them the "right" answers, then you're done. -SarasNavel Helen,
