I just wanted to share my GRE experiences

Well..this was my second attempt at trying to get a hold on verbal..first time..I totally ran out of time cos I spent way to much time on my 2 RC and then rushed on making guesses and digging my grave..Luckily quant started off well after that.But the difficulty level was quite high..that gave me the impression that I that I was doing well..finally landed up with a research section-identified..I was more curious to see my scores rather than help ETS with their surveys.then came the golden opportunity to cancel my scores..but my optimism got the better of me..and..1160..

All thru in mymind an 800 in quant was what i wanted to sail on..but blv me this doesnt help.. The second time I went without any expectations..Just trying to take each qn at a time in quant..but was still mortified by verbal.My test started of with awm.. my favorite section of the GRE..Got a pretty easy issue.."--internet and TV make tourism obselete--" argument was the dura-sock one..well..we all have been thru stinky socks..so had stuff to write here. I thought I wud relax reading the instructions cos I had a bad time wading thru the traffic to get to the exam, but accidentally hit some wrong buttons and my test actually started off! with quant thankfully Thot I was doing bad..but I found out later that t wasnt all that bad afterall.

Previous day in my Powerprep practise test..got a 610 in verbal..so i had hopes.. actually powerprep is a very good indication about yr final scores if u have noticed.. nt with verbal this time though..again got stuck with RC and the ETS camera somehow seemed to distarct me a lot :/ during my verbal! I just wanted to get over with it..another thing that I learnt here is..It is imp to do well in yr RCs..for the simple reason that..if you get the essence of the passage, u can answer all the qns in a jiffy..and it is simply too good for you if u get many qns right in a row..and worst for yu if u get many wrong in a row..decreases yr score considerably One lesson i have learnt is during the test..its no use thinking abt what score u shud aim at..or are yu doinggood or bad..depending on the kind of qns given to u...Just take each qn as it comes..and give yr best to it. This time the 'cancel scores' button was not very inviting and I got 1280..nt very bad NOR very good but the 800/800 in quant was gratifying..verbal cant stop biting me.. now that this nightmare is over..like all good kiddos who do their MS, I plan to dedicate a GRE+TOEFL section to my site to share this info and hope that it wud be of use to the test takers.

All the Best for yr Game..Just take it 1 by 1..You can beat it!
