I took the second test! This time I made it :> V-750/Q-800

Thanks for the advices that u guys have given to my last posting..

One thing now I am sure is that you guys should never leave any question
unanswered.

If you run out of time, just choose random answer and try to concentrate on the last question.

Anyway this time, I had 6~10 mins when I finished my Verbal and Quant..

I was quite surprised about verbal section that I got even better score.


My strategy was to pick an answer without thinking too much on reading

problems. I saw my record on last exam and found out that spending more

time on a reading question often lead me to choose wrong answer.

Believe the first impression.. (Sure.. u may hav to be ready enough with

practices)

For Quant section, I didn't re-check my answers concerning about my last

experience of time shortage. This would work for most engineering students I

guess..


I am so relieved now..

My last AWA score was 4.5

This time I expect 4~5.. Actually I am worried about it.. but I will never take this exam again! :>

Thanks!

Anyway.. I am applying for CS this year-end.

I'm very happy for u as it reflects a very god progress. Would u tell us about your exam exeperience and preparation. Verbal, what percent did u get from BARRONS? Do u think barrons 15th edition is enough for VERBAL??


Best of luck and congratulations

Thanks for all messages! My last score was 720/750. For Q section that time, I was not able to answer last 5 questions because of time shortage. For my second preparation, I just concentrated to solve math problems on computer to make myself accustomed to CBT. It was a week of preparation. However, for my first exam, I prepared for 2 months to memorize word lists and solve POWERPREP problems.. I also used the books from ACRO, Peterson's and POWERPREP from REA.

Good luck!!
