From Cracking the GRE, a test-prep manual by Doug Pierce:
You will also see a fourth, unidentified, experimental section on the GRE. This section will either be Math or Verbal and will look exactly like the real Math or Verbal section . . ., but it won’t count toward your score. ETS [the company that administers the test] uses the experimental section to test GRE questions for use on future exams. This means that part of your test fee pays for the privilege of serving as a research subject for ETS.
On a related note, I’ll be hunkered down for the next few weeks working on grad school-, job-, and writing-related activities. To catch my quotidian bitchings about said activities (and the occasional soup recipe), follow me on Twitter.
Be well, everyone, and happy new year.

A spoonful of sarcasm would be the only way to get that down.
Hunker away, me beauty. I look forward to the soup recipes but most of all to the quotidian and most entertaining Tweets. Heh.
Holla!
