After a few hours and several deep breaths, I'm feeling more optimistic than I did this afternoon. I just spent about 90 minutes going through a study book I picked up at the local library. I did rather well answering the exercises in the chapters on Antonyms and Analogies...hence my increasingly positive outlook. Now if I could only boost "more optimistic" up to full-on "optimistic," then we'd really be getting somewhere.
36 hours to go.

Despite what shortcomings you might have with the educational black hole known as "standardized exams"...the GRE is cake and you will kick it's ass. Nervous or not. Bad at standardized exams or not. You will smoke this one.
p.s. this may vary according to discipline...but from my perspective Dr. Johnson has grossy over-emphasized the importance of the GRE score. Also, already having a master's degree is a huge advantage for you. I would assume the GRE is weighed much more heavily for admittance to the grad program at the entry level...not for someone who is already has a graduate degree. Particularly since the GRE has no bearing on admittance. (it's an accredidation and money making scheme...that is universally true)
