11.24. GRE Exam in Singapore

This day 11.24 seems to be a bad choice but it was my only choice when I registered it on Nov. 14, bad day too.

Fortunately, I got 610 in verbal section and 800 in math section.

I was quite sleepy and nervous and I can only remember the issue topic I chose and the argument topic.

For your information, they are pasted as follows:

Issue:
18. Students should bring a certain skepticism to whatever they study. They should question what they are taught instead of accepting it passively.

Argument:

The following is a letter that recently appeared in the Oak City Gazette, a local newspaper.

"Membership in Oak City's Civic Club — a club whose primary objective is to discuss local issues — should continue to be restricted to people who live in Oak City. People who work in Oak City but who live elsewhere cannot truly understand the business and politics of the city. It is important to restrict membership to city residents because only residents pay city taxes and therefore only residents understand how the money could best be used to improve the city. At any rate, restricting membership in this way is unlikely to disappoint many of the nonresidents employed in Oak City, since neighboring Elm City's Civic Club has always had an open membership policy, and only twenty-five nonresidents have joined Elm City's Club in the last ten years."
