Hi Greg, I saw the recording of Aug 18 (Coffee session). Wanted to send you my recent Mock test scores i took, I am supposed to take my exam on 1st September, need your guidance. I took the PP1 and here are my scores. Please let me know what should be my next steps.
I’ll leave @gregmat to comment.
Given that your test is so soon, I recommend watching this video: 4. What to do a week before your GRE test - GregMat
If you’re going to retake it after your upcoming attempt, we can then plan for that more intentionally.
Alright, thanks Greg!
Hi, Greg, so I took your advice from the One week to exam video and brushed up my Quant foundation skills and the Verbal strategies. I also pushed back my exam for another One week and I felt confident because I was taking the quizzes on the platform and was scoring good. I just took PP2 test and I scored a V151 and Q153. On reviewing carefully, I realized that I knew all the concepts of the Quant questions and i could solve all of them when reviewing, I don’t know why I made errors in the exam. I rushed through the questions too fast or idk what exactly happened.
For Verbal, I messed up the ‘Previously referenced strategy’ and also included a lot of storytelling points in all the TC questions this time that I otherwise don’t make practicing. My SE/RC was good.
I have 6 days to exam, I need some motivation and guidance on how to proceed. I think I panic a lot during the exam (it’s been thing for me for other aptitude exams as well) ![]()
For last week, as advised by you- I will keep going over Verbal strategies + Quant foundational concepts and go over my quiz and mock test errors. Anything else, that I should keep in mind? Thank you. @gregmat
To me, those scores still indicate you’re in the memorization phase. Have you taken foundation quizzes recently to really test whether your quant foundations are solid?
Yes, I took them I was scoring 12-15/15 on the quizzes. I have a time issue as well, so I rush through a couple of questions and end up getting them wrong, calculatively.
Those aren’t the foundation quizzes. You’re supposed to take foundation quizzes untimed. It sounds like you were taking timed quant sections there
oh okay, so should I get back with the Foundation scores then? For Verbal?
