Question

I started preparing for GRE last month. I took two mocks recently and didn't score too well in them. I was planning to take the exam by Oct 25 but now I am not confident about it. Can you please suggest me a way out? By what time max should I take the exam so that I don't miss out on the priority deadlines for Fall '18? Will it be okay if I take it by first week of Nov?

You do not have to quit your job to have a reasonable GRE score... it is just take more time. Think that your work experience is also important on the application. Good luck.

That's really good for you. But I am not at all confident ???? That's why doubtful of what to do..

Aditi Swaroop · Answer

It's very difficult to work your ass off when you're working :(

Aditi Swaroop · Answer

Well, good luck to you though :) I hope you score well

Aditi Swaroop · Answer

Haha, good for you. But what do you think? Can I take it by first week of November?

Aditi Swaroop · Answer

Sadly I can't quit my job right now :(

Aditi Swaroop · Answer

Azazel, yea indeed. Thank you

Aditi Swaroop · Answer

Harpreet, yeaa.. I know. Even if I take the exam unprepared to meet the deadlines and don't score well it will all be in vain. And if I defer the date too much.. I will miss out on the deadlines. And hence the dilemma :P Anyway thank you for your suggestion :)

Aditi Swaroop · Answer

Yes I was thinking the same, first short list then plan accordingly. Thank you Varun :D

Aditi Swaroop · Answer

Harpreet, yess I know. But it's always good to hear it from someone else right? :P Thanks a lot :)

Aditi Swaroop · Answer

Varun, haha yes please do. Good luck :)

I am in the same situation though, my mock test scores have not improved for the past month, but I have decided to give the test on Oct 26th, with a firm mind..

Varun Madhavan Loganathan · Answer

I would say , just make up your mind and give the test a shot, work your ass of for the next 20 days, that's what I have planned though.

Varun Madhavan Loganathan · Answer

Same here, for the past year full I have been postponing my date with the exam :P ... Because of work.. now I have finally decided to go ahead, and yes .. I quit my job...

Varun Madhavan Loganathan · Answer

Yup you have time till Nov 15,( my suggestion would be if you still want to take more time, short list certain universities that you are interested in and check their dead line for the course you are applying, some Univ have extended deadlines.. things might work for you  in that regard) but after that all your admission processes like transcripts lor sops  should fall in place , like all of them should be planned perfectly...so that you stand a chance for fall 2018, coz you ll have very little time

Varun Madhavan Loganathan · Answer

Yeah so Cheers, so we ll see who scores better... Will keep you posted ....Tata:P work hard...wish you success.

@AditiSwrp i would suggest you to atleast ustilise the time whne you are not at office may be weekends n some time early morning or late night n devote completedly to ur studies n make ur deadline atleast 10 days before so u have enough time to correct ur mistakes n can also try bsitc's gre prep app from play store for free mock test

#Varun nd #Aditi : In case it helps, just re do those topics in which you are lagging as per your mocks. Also take this into consideration that for most of the universities last date is 15th Dec,so plan accordingly. As there are lot of stuff that you have to take care post GRE before deadline.

harpreet singh · Answer

Yes Aditi can understand your predicament. Even I was also sailing same ship lately. But this is something that you have to manage..sry to be blunt but only you can help yourself. All the best ????

harpreet singh · Answer

Right Aditi, It always helps in sharing your problems with some one who have faced the same..anyways best wishes for your efforts..:)
