<p>tomorrow will be the day some of us will prove that we didn't waste the past 3 years of our lives. it will be a day when some of us will perish during the good fight, but don't lose courage and remember that if you don't do so well as planned, you can always forget about it by going to your nearest movie theater and watching the awesome movie regarding the kazakh journalist borat. </p>
<p>i'm trying to arm myself by memorizing all the metabolic pathways one last time before i get to the front line tomorrow morning at 8:30am.</p>
<p>this is by far the corniest post i've ever made, hah.</p>
<p>My advice is to pay the extra $10-15 (don't remember exactly how much) to get your subject test scores over the phone when they become available in a few weeks. The torture of waiting for the scores to come through the mail at the same time you're trying to decide which scores to send to schools is just unbelivable.</p>
<p>i couldn't believe how fast the time went. i was approaching near the 100th question out of 180 (total time is 2hrs 50 mins) when i heard that there is only 1 hour left, so i zoomed and skipped many of the questions near the end. I found out at the end, however, that i skipped about the same number of questions as my practice exam, whlie also being pretty confident with the answers that i had bubbled in. there was a lot of cell biology which made me happy, and i'm not too worried about it (after a couple hours of checking my answers through my biochemistry text). </p>
<p>mollie, i was just thinking about the whole phone score thing, which does cost $10. since only 2 out of the 8 schools i'm applying to "require" the subject gre while the other 6 "strongly recommend" it, do you think i shouldn't send the subject scores if i score less than expected? actually i already did the score report for 3 of those strongly recommended schools so i can't do anything about those.</p>
<p>I'm not a good one to answer that question -- I sent the score to all of the schools without knowing what it was. It turned out that I made a good choice, but I think it definitely could have turned out differently!</p>
<p>On one hand, the schools which "strongly recommend" don't require the test, so you don't get penalized for not sending the score.</p>
<p>On the other hand, my buddy who didn't do terribly well on the subject test still got into MIT and UCSF, so probably a mediocre score alone isn't going to sink you. :)</p>
<p>I guess I feel like you should send the score if you have a reasonable expectation that you did pretty well. If you're feeling less sure, don't worry about sending the scores to schools that don't require them.</p>
<p>i took the november, 2006 biochemistry GRE too, and i didn't receive my score report yet. have they been mailed out already or did you do the phone thing? i just tried to do the phone scores and it said the scores aren't available at this time.</p>
