<shrug> My scores improved the more I took it.
I guess my point was that people who take it several times
and people who take it only once can be both successful. People get so stressed these days about doing everything right so that their kids get into college. But like so many other things, there is not one right approach. Both students who take it only once and ones who take it many times can get into a good college. There just isn't a single right way to do it.
And since I know you like a good discussion, let me bring up another point. While I wouldn't argue that your scores went up, there isn't any way to know that your scores went up
because you took it every year. Maybe they would have gone up anyway. I took the GRE first in the mid-80's and again 20 years later and my verbal went up 70 points. I didn't study or take the GRE in between. So either I got smarter or the test got easier. But my score definitely didn't go up because I had been taking tests in those 2 decades, because I hadn't.
