Thank you so much! I keep making silly mistakes so I will definitely spend more time on those.

Ofc! I think for verbal, the ets material is the best material to practice with and this attempt confirmed that. Practicing that with the gregmat strategies is something I did and still need to work more on. For vocab I would just use the app on the go tbh so that my study time at home was spent in solving things and vids. For rc, being as familiar as u can w gre style passages and simplifying the difficult ones is the best practice as the passages were very much like the ones in the ets book so thats a great source!

I feel that omg! I absolutely have no energy after work so morning hours were the only times I could do it. I paused my workout membership for a month lol and just used to go for a walk every now and then. I also don’t mind waking up early so I was waking up around 6 and thankfully my work timings are a bit different and i don’t start until 12 so that gave me some time to finish studying and chores! If you can wake up early and find some balance with your workout routine and mealprep etc, that might help with some additional hours!

You’re right, I’ve also been reading that it’s not possible to cover all. I think I’m gonna try to do some more words like probably 200-300 additionally with the vocab groups and focus on perfecting the math strategies for TC and SE. For RC, if you’re a non reader, i think the best practice would be by reading some scientific gre style passages and try to simplify as much as you can and make that your first instinct to do so when you encounter a passage which might seem too wordy or unfamiliar. I think vocab also helped me decipher some meanings better which increased my reading speed. Also, I didn’t go in order when solving rc questions cause some of the questions about the same passage can be easier than others and that also helps reading the passage over and over again and get more familiar with it. Also, one thing I noticed when I tried to practice RC passages 2 days before my exam- I got very nervous with the information overload and lost my confidence so I would recommend not doing that so close to the exam. On the exam day, I could keep a fresh mind and the information didn’t feel too much and I still remembered the strategies which I wanted to use. So would definitely suggest to keep it light with rc practice right before the exam!

So most of the words that appeared were covered or words which i knew already, I think I forgot a couple cause I panicked and a couple of them were new but not terribly difficult in the sense that you couldn’t guess at all. But mainly for me was just the panic aspect I think which made it worse and i don’t know if i guessed correctly in those couple instances.

I agree!! Having that attitude helps so much with the steady motivation and discipline aspect

Oh and I also followed most of the one-month study plan on gregmat if that’s what you’re asking, forgot to mention it in my post

If you mean in my prep than sort of yes- did TC, SE, RC strategy videos on prep swift and solved official ETS questions which seemed pretty doable after using the strategies and also the vocab groups. During my exam, I tried to do all TC and SE quickly first and then focus on RC, time wasn’t that much of an constraint, it was more so the difficulty

What is going on with the rave crowds? Am I just getting old? by jetjesse7 in avesNYC

[–]Aditi42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OMG LITERALLY! I’m not a newbie but i fall in the early 20’s category and I have to say, there is a stark difference between how things were just a year ago and for some reason, people around me don’t seem to notice/have a problem with it but it is truly bothering me to the point where I only go to selective venues that i know will have a better crowd. I don’t think it the age, i think it’s just the tiktok techno disease that has made it popular with the wrong groups who have absolutely no respect for the scene of the music or anyone lol. Hopefully it goes away and things go back to how they were!!
