<p>They place far, far too much importance on the GRE score overall.</p>
<p>Blah2009,</p>
<p>My GRE score by no means indicates that I am unable to handle graduate work. That is a very poor line of reasoning. Indeed, the fact that I have two masters degrees shows that I am more than capable of handling graduate work. I could in fact complete a PhD in Australia which would show that even more, and they would still place far more importance on the GRE scores.</p>
<p>To be fair, the analytical writing section tests critical thinking, something that should have far more emphasis placed on it then simply regurgitating a vocabulary list, which tests memory more than anything else.</p>
