I am not a native speaker, which is why I am having such a hard time with the verbal section. (But I am attending an American university and I am a permanent resident, so it’s not immediately obvious that I have only been here for two years.)

I don’t know how other math departments look at verbal GRE scores. The professors at my home college say that they do pay attention to the scores because they found a good correlation between verbal scores and students’ success in the graduate program. Of course that still refers to the old test format.
