Congratulations again to you on your fantastic score, and thank you for your detailed account. I'm afraid I have another question for you. I'm having the most trouble with completing the exam on time, especially the quantitative part. You did recommend that focus should be on the first 10-15 questions but I'm curious as to how much time is too much? I tend to get so stuck on a question and am never able to complete the test. The problem for me is that no practice test emulates the actual computer-based exam, i.e- grades you as you go, getting more or less difficult depending on your progress. That's the part that worries me most- the uncertainty in that because I can't study for it. Roughly how much time do you recommend investing in those first few questions? Thanks so much in advance, Lindsay

multishiver, Congrats on your fantastic GRE scores! You must be so relieved to have the exam behind you. I'm scheduled to take it later this month and while I know this will have little to do with my exam, I'm a bit superstitious and so I'm curious to find out if you happen to remember your essay topics? I think I've spent more time preparing for the written part than the entire test because I'm so nervous about it! Either way, good luck in your grad school applications though I'm sure you'll do great. -Lindsay
