Has anyone taken the GRE?

[Lady Grace of Pemberley]

Hello! I have a quick question for all you graduate-school people... any advice on the GRE? I already did a search and couldn't find anything here on this forum. :confused: As of about a week ago, I am prayerfully considering enrolling in graduate school. So far, I've found three great online master's programs in journalism (I'll post more about that when I have more time). But anyway, I suddenly realized two of the schools I am applying at require GRE scores. So, I signed up last night to take it this upcoming Friday. I barely knew what the exam covered, so now I'm back into study/cram/nervous mode (ah, the memories.... ). I got somewhat decent scores on the Analyzing and Interpreting Literature CLEP (74) and the College Composition CLEP (62); is the verbal and analytical writing section similar to those? I love reading, big words, and writing and I have pretty good critical thinking skills, so I'm not as nervous about those sections as I am about the quantitative section. As you can see from my signature, I did take several math courses in college, but I feel a bit rusty. :| So... any tips on this exam? One of the schools I am applying at requires a combined score of 297 and the other requires upper 1/2 percentile for verbal and 4.5 analytical. Are those scores hard to get? Any recommendation for study resources (preferably free and definitely online - I don't have time to get anything else)?
