Progesterone is a hormone released by the corpus luteum in the ovary. It plays important roles in the menstrual cycle and in maintaining the early stages of pregnancy. It may also be involved in the growth of certain cancers.
I've been following various people's posts about the GRE for 10 months now. Some people don't study at all for the GRE, some study for a weekend, the average is about 2 to 3 months, and some study for a year or more.
At a minimum, you want to take the GRE six weeks before the application deadline. Because the Writing Assessment is now part of the General Test as the analytical writing section, you will not receive your complete score at the testing center.
