Get your GRE taken while knowledge is still free floating in your memory . Grad school is different .

@TexChik Thank you. This is wise and comforting.

I know the feeling. One month after graduating I was at another school getting a head start with summer classes for the PhD program.

I was not ready for the "real world" and to work, and was a good student and so decided to stay in school. I went for a PhD so I would get support (teaching assistantship with stipend, and tuition waiver). But after two years I only had passed one "comprehensive" exam out of two (I failed after two attempts with one). They told me I should reconsider. But by then my brain was fried and I wanted out! I also wanted to start earning money and living a more normal life.
