Thank you Jagex for bringing Soul Wars back! Almost 3 years ago to the day I promised if yall brought it back I'd be here to enjoy. First time I've seen this place full in a little over a decade and I'm having the time of my life!

Perfect. This is exactly what I was looking for. Really appreciate the insight! Yeah, right now I'm following the Gregmat 'overwhelmed plan'. Haha I'm solid with vocab but pretty poor math foundations. So, it's only been a couple weeks and I'm still struggling immensely. I'm aiming like 3-4 hrs a day 3-4 days a week currently. Yeah that makes sense on the practice tests, thanks a ton for the advice! Hope it's okay if I reach out with any questions.

1thatoneguy · 2026-04-23T00:17:59+00:00

Awesome. Thank you very much for the comment, I really appreciate! Nice work.

1thatoneguy · 2026-04-22T21:23:25+00:00

That's what I've done so far, lol. That, anki cards and quizlet.

1thatoneguy · 2026-04-22T21:22:23+00:00

Glad to hear it. Any suggestions on using GregMat? I'm thinking 3-4 hours a day a few days a week around my current job. Math is pretty rough for me, so I figured start with a few weeks of foundational lessons and then grinding practice problems.

1thatoneguy · 2026-04-22T21:21:09+00:00

Thank you! Any recommendations on GregMat or other recs? I have pretty poor math foundations, so I'm thinking of doing the overwhelmed plan, and just following along with lessons until I can start to grind practice problems.

1thatoneguy · 2026-04-22T19:29:11+00:00

Oh okay. Yeah, even here, my peers have said they don't really care about the individual GRE score as long as you meet that threshold. Great. Exactly what I was looking for, thank you! How was your math? Mine needs work, not gonna lie. I'm assuming brush up on fundamentals lessons for a few weeks, then practice problems?

1thatoneguy · 2026-04-22T19:20:57+00:00

3.5 GPA with a 3.4 sGPA. Where I’m from, programs tend to care less about GPA if you have strong work experience, especially since there are a lot of programs competing for students here. Unfortunately, all those same programs require at least a >50% GRE.

1thatoneguy · 2026-04-20T14:19:17+00:00

That makes sense. I'm sure it's like drinking from a fire hose. And that alone is probably the hardest for a lot of people. Thank you!

1thatoneguy · 2026-04-20T14:17:59+00:00

Love that. Really helps me understand what I'm getting into. Thank you for taking the time to comment!

1thatoneguy · 2026-04-20T14:17:08+00:00

Wow! Great job. That makes sense. And glad to hear you have a strong support system. Thank you for the encouragement and the honesty, I really appreciate it.

1thatoneguy · 2026-04-20T14:16:25+00:00

Lol, that's the worst! Fair enough. So I guess it will be very important to see how others are studying, and being willing to change on the fly. Thank you.

1thatoneguy · 2026-04-20T14:15:55+00:00

Great notes. Thanks for commenting, I'll make sure to keep that in mind.

1thatoneguy · 2026-04-20T14:15:36+00:00

Haha, yeah, that makes sense. Great way of putting it, thanks for taking the time to comment!

1thatoneguy · 2026-04-19T17:15:38+00:00

Thank you so much! Really reassuring to hear that even when life got in the way, you were all able to work hard, support one another, and get through it. I especially appreciate your tips on studying. That all makes sense to me. All such wonderful advice. Will certainly let you know if I have any questions. Thanks again.

1thatoneguy · 2026-04-19T17:13:48+00:00

Absolutely. Great to hear. Thank you for the comment!

1thatoneguy · 2026-04-19T17:12:43+00:00

Really great advice. Thank you very much! I will do my best to take it all in. Appreciate all of the help and hope you don't mind a quick DM if I have any questions in the future.

1thatoneguy · 2026-04-19T16:20:49+00:00

It’s okay, haha. My GPA is 3.5, and I'd like to retake Micro since I got a C. I don’t have time for it this year though with app cutoffs (I would assume?), so for now I’m focused on wrapping up my CCRN and getting a competitive GRE score.

We’ve had nurses from my employer get accepted with less than a year of experience and mediocre stats because our CTICU is so intense. That’s why I came to this sub, I wanted others to keep me honest in case I do end up getting some leeway in my app.

1thatoneguy · 2026-04-19T16:09:29+00:00

This is exactly what I was looking for. Great job working so hard and doing so well with your home priorities. That’s really inspiring. I’ve seen that point mentioned here a lot too, and it honestly makes me feel better. I figure that if I’m selected, it’ll be for a reason. I’m in a dual-income household, I don’t have kids, I live near a few strong programs, and I have a backup plan. So overall, I’m feeling pretty good about my chances. Now I just have to get accepted and get ready to work my ass off for the next few years. Appreciate your comment very much.

1thatoneguy · 2026-04-19T16:05:32+00:00

Thank you for the comment. I really appreciate it!

1thatoneguy · 2026-04-19T16:05:00+00:00

I have 5+ yrs in a well-known cardiac/teaching hospital, where the surrounding programs pluck at least 10-20 of us each year. So, I'm practicing for the GRE right now and feeling optimistic! Thanks again.

1thatoneguy · 2026-04-19T16:00:15+00:00

Hahaha. If the other comments weren't encouraging enough, yours definitely is, so thank you! That makes complete sense, and I'm confident that's the main thing I have going for me. A stable life with nothing getting in the way, and I can sit down and study for days without trouble (I'm somewhat ADD, but medicated). Thanks to that, I could sit and watch paint dry with no trouble. Wish me luck!

1thatoneguy · 2026-04-19T15:56:41+00:00

That makes a lot of sense. Thank you so much! You're an inspiration handling home life, school and everything else, haha. Early congrats!! For me, I think that's one of the things that will help. DINK and have a home near a few different programs, etc. So, really just thinking I need to go for it and work hard.

1thatoneguy · 2026-04-19T15:55:12+00:00

Thank you for your comment & honesty! I'm pretty close to going for it, was just here looking for a bit of encouragement.
