I gave my powerprep 1 test today, and scored 160 Q and 148 V. I’m currently doing the 1 month plan but I tend to finish 1 day of quant and 1 day of verbal from the lesson plan in 1 day, instead of 2 separate days. I was aiming to give my GRE on the 11th of August but now I am apprehensive as to if I’ll even be able to cross 320. What should I do? I would really like to book that date as a lot of stuff is planned post that. Should I book it or postpone and practice more? I would like to add that today’s test went poorly due to lack of time management and if I had more time, I would be able to answer most questions correctly.
Aren’t we all face the same dilemma !
Test is not about solving question correctly , the section are name Quantitative Reasoning , Verbal Reasoning because you have to use logic to find shortcuts to reach an answer while being restricted by time. Before giving your powerprep II be sure to make a game-plan on how you’ll tackle each section and different question types and make sure that you’re playing to your strengths and skipping the rest .
Also, Greg has some videos on Time Management, which u can watch to get some tips

P.S. ETS knows that people wants to solve all the questions and it exploits that weakness to full extent
What would you suggest I do then? Can my scores be improved in 3 weeks? I checked out the time management videos and realized my mistakes but I still don’t know whether to give my test on the 11th or not.
Its a personal decision ! Can’t really help you with it !
Oh, no problem! Thanks for the help!
