hOWDEE ALL!

[DUGU]

I WAS QUITE IMPRESSED WITH ALL THE SCORES OF ALL THE PARTICIPANTS OF THIS DISCUSSION BOARD WHO GAVE THE GRE,ESPECIALLY RAMYA.WAY TO GO RAMYA!WITH ALL THIS EXPERIENCE UNDER YOUR BELT, I AM WONDERING WHAT IS YOUR SECRET AND IF YOU WOULD BE KIND ENOUGH TO PASS ON SOME WORDS OF WISDOM TO FUTURE EXAM TAKERS (ASSUMING YOU STILL CHECK OUT THIS FORUM) .
I ACTUALLY DECIDED TO GRAPPLE THIS NIGHTMARE OF AN EXAM WITHOUT ANY OUTSIDE HELP- WELL PREP MATERIALS OF COURSE.BUT WHEN I DID MY EXAM YESTERDAY I FOUND MY RESULTS DID NOT MATCH THE SCORES I HAD BEEN RECEIVING IN THE PRACTICE EXAMS.I GATHER THAT IS NORMAL.BUT THE DEVIATION IN MY MIND WAS EXTREME.I HAD BEEN SCORING 800'S IN QUANT AND ALWAYS ABOVE 760 IN VERBAL BUT IN THE EXAM I SCORED 700 EVEN IN BOTH OF THE SECTIONS FOR A TOTAL OF 1400.THE AWA WAS A BREEZE THOUGH, BUT I COME FROM AN ARTS BACKGROUND KINDA.YES, I WAS DISAPPOINTED.DESPITE MY GUT FEELING AND THE STRONG URGE TO CANCEL THE RESULTS CURIOUS MMONKEY THAT I AM I HAD TO KNOW.THE GRE IS DIFFERENT THAN ALL PREP MATERIAL THAT HAS A FIXED SET OF QUESTIONS AND DOES NOT ADJUST THE DIFFICULTY ACCORDING TO THE NUMBER OF QUESTIONS ANSWERED CORRECTLY.SO HOW SHOULD ONE PREPARE FOR THIS SINCE I SHALL BE REPEATING THE EXAM.
IN DESPERATE NEED OF SOME CHEERING UP AND MORE IMPORTANTLY DESPERATELY SEEKING HELP.[:o)]THE CLOWN LOOKS KINDA PATHETIC AS IF BESEECHING SOMEONE.[V] ON THE OTHER HAND IS EXTREME-TOO SUICIDAL AND HISTRIONIC FOR MY TASTE.
