Hi all,
Gave my GRE on Nov 17th....
was little diappointed by my scores...
My PowerPrep scores were below:
P1. V 340 Q 720 (took 7 days before my actual test)
P2. V 390 Q 580 (took 2 days before)

On princeton it was again low... ( Q 580, V 360)

My prep time
1. Decided I will prepare for GRE, in June or July 2004 I think
2. then started Barron's word list...
3. Felt I need to join tution for GRE...
4. Wasted time in tution search and prep suffered
5. then thought that it is waste of money and started on my own
in August
6. then was frustrated by Barrons word list...and searched for other word
lists....
7. Again wasted time in it....
8. Downloaded lot of material and my friend had ordered GREbible...
9. Waited for GRE bible...again wasted time...
10. then in October I had completed only 800 - 1000 words that too not perfectly.
11. and my faith in October.... all functions, fun with relatives in Goa, Mumbai etc....
12. felt real tension in Nov 1st week...
13. Started maths....and cramming words...
14. last 2 weeks I did my hardcore prep...
15. tried to cram 2900 words in 2 weeks...
16. only saw ..tactics for writing essay,,,,
17. and then it was .....1170 (V400, Q770)....
I think i did a mistake in quant...in 2nd question...I remem. the mistake when I pressed answer confirm to move to question 3....
I got 2 quant section ...
Order...
1st Quant ---- was irritating...after completing I thought I will get 400 in Math...this was a mistake...which frustrated me...
2nd Verbal ----was frustrated and did not gave thought on questions and simply moved further...
3rd Quant. --- I was surprised but little releived as I had got a chance...
Worked little but did a silly mistake on Ques 2....and then saw my score...

por favor, el señor everybody who is prep and appearing for GRE por favor, el señor don't do the mistakes I have done....
All the best

Regards,
G8
