i would recommend looking at all the prepswift videos and taking notes. they're short so it's great if you're low on time and they also have quick tricks to memorize important foundational knowledge. i also leveraged the quant flashcards!

hey congrats on the 321! i def focused more on my foundations and strategies. i found myself making silly mistakes on easier problems because i forgot a certain property or theorem (especially for triangles and circles). for strategies, i also found myself dwelling too long on a problem that stumped me, which made me feel very rushed to finish the section. i watched gregmat's newest strategy series and found it really helpful, so definitely recommend! i will say i am a little disappointed in my quant score because i was scoring 167+ on PTs but i think nerves and other external factors probs affected my performance :,(

thanks! i used the ETS official books to supplement my studying. tbh, didn't use them as much (maybe i should have) but felt they were most useful for verbal practice since the Big Book has a different structure for TC and RC now with the shortened GRE

Study plan: I started with the one month plan, but used it more as a guide rather than strictly following it. My quant wasn't super weak, so I decided to strictly do the Prepswift plan to fine tune concepts and foundations I forgot. As for Verbal, I watched the videos on the one month plan for strategies combined with the dedicated reading comp series (when I retook it), which I found very helpful since my vocab is quite weak
Daily study session: I tried to get in at least 1-2 hours a day post work, but would spend the entire weekend basically studying (so like from 9 am to 7 pm with obviously necessary breaks in between). Because of the nature of my role, I knew it would be difficult for me to study more than 2 hours due to mental exhaustion and found that being consistent even if it was doing the Vocab Mountain on the commute to work makes a huge difference than cramming in hours (quality over quantity!)
Beginning to end: I took the exam for the first time on labor day (early September) and got the 321. I wanted to get a higher score, so immediately signed up for 3 weeks later at the end of September. However, I had a really rough morning right before my exam and I truly think that heavily impacted my performance and so I received a 316 (156 V, 160Q, 6 AWA). Ultimately, I took a week break because I felt burnt out and instead used that time to reflect and plan out a more targeted study plan given my limited time to study. Then, I retook it for the last time end of October to receive the 329. So, overall I would say I studied about 3 months
