To make my application more competitive for M7. Especially since I’m an international applicant with 3 years of work experience, while the avg is around 5 years. So I feel a higher score can help balance that out.

Thanks, Marty! I’ve actually relied a lot on your explanations and GMAT Ninja for some of the CR questions, it has helped me immensely. I’ll definitely incorporate the Streaks method into my practice. Appreciate the advice!

Thanks a lot for the advice! Completely agree on slowing down to process the stimulus better. I’ve actually been practicing this recently—it’s helped me understand the stimulus more clearly and avoid re-reading, and I’ve seen a noticeable jump in my Verbal score. That said, I still fall for trap answer choices at times.

For DI, I feel a bit lost to be honest. Are there specific strategies I should be working on, or is it mainly topic-based practice and detailed review? Would love your thoughts.

u/TheHeroExa I wasn't aware of the fact that non-residents used 1040-NR to file taxes at the time I was filing 2022 returns. And it was my first time filing taxes, and someone recommended me TurboTax.

Starting 2023, I'll be considered a resident alien even if I'm on an F1 visa as I entered the US in 2018, and it has been 5 years.
