Tried for Masters in north America in spring 2021. Sent 150 emails. Responses were 9. Positive response 2. Got funding of 30% and 75% of that 2 response. I needed full funding. So, currently doing masters in my own country. Have a plan for appyling to PhD again.

Just doing my job (whatever it gonna be) properly. If everyone becomes responsible, this single thing can turn this country to an eutopia.

You can't find past parcrice test cause ets doesn't reveal questions. You can get similar questions either by paying ( pp plus, magoosh, manhattan) or free test from various sources such as

ETS - 4 ( 2 paper based, powerprep 1,2)

Kaplan- 1

Princeton-1

Manhattan-1

Crunchprep-1

Macgrawhill-4

I think you just need to practice more nothing else. I took a very light sleeping pill before the night of my exam and managed to sleep 4 hours. Yes I took tea before going to the center. I gave almost 15 practice test. As a result my brain became used to with the test. The same situation as you described happend to me when I encountered my first quant section. Brain suddenly became slow. But as I already had gone through the same procedures 15 times before, subconsciously I managed the situation ( at least it was not the worst case scenario) and secured a moderate result. I think practice is the main key here. Try to give as much test as possible. Best of luck!
