Calling all Math Teachers

I scheduled myself to take the GRE. I have had some hellacious luck with realtime online scheduling this week. On Monday, I was trying to get tickets to see the Eddie Izzard in NYC this weekend. They even charged my credit card, but alas, I get no tickets (the charges did get reversed, but still). And then, today, I'm trying to schedule a test date and the link disappears as I click it. Thankfully my disgust with the whole real-time web reservation system in general prevented me from immediately reserving a December date, as any sane person would have done. As luck would have it, however, a glitch while trying to register for the December test date tonight (stupid flash animations in another tab dragging down Firefox) caused me to inadvertently close the window. Start over, and *poof* there are new November dates available.

It's on for November 15th. Now, I need to run out and have the quadratic formula tattooed on my forearm. I do NOT remember how to factor these equations. I also do not remember how to perform algebraic manipulations of radicals, or of fractions. And let's not even get to the parts with the triangles and circles and angles.... Oh... my head hurts....

Hi Jeff,

When I took the GREs, they sent me a review CD. Obviously, there's probably not enough time for them to do that, but I think this is supposed to be the same:

I did the whole math review on here, and found it very helpful. Maybe if I had also done the English review, the GREs might have shown I could speak English ;-) Good luck!
