I bought a GRE prep book and took the sample test and was appalled at how much math I've forgotten. Yeesh. I took geometry 25 years ago, same with algebra. I'd practically have to go back to school to relearn all that stuff. So I'm really happy my program doesn't require it.

You never have to do long, drawn-out equations. GET A PREP BOOK, and it will teach you all you need to re-learn. I can't do math by hand for crap, but you don't need to!

:D Yeah, I was intending on getting a prep book for each of the sections. Glad to know since I haven't had math since I was 17. That's... *uses fingers* 7 years. 8O
