So very bad at math, help! →[More:] Besides having avoided math forever and apparently developing quite a lot of anxiety about it, I just took a paper GRE practice test and did quite horribly on the math parts. Once upon a time I got nearly a perfect score on my math SAT, now I am slow and panicky with the numbers. Are there just tons of GRE math exercises I can do or something? I figure the only way to really deal with the anxiety is exposure.

Google is your friend.

Don't worry. I was absolutely dreadful at the word problems (which were very mathematical) when I took a practice LSAT, many moons ago. Many practice sessions later, I aced them. I still use the diagramming skills I learned in the practice sessions in my real life practice of law when I'm figuring out the facts of a complicated case. Practice, and you'll be fine. And a better grad student!
