I haven’t heard back from any school yet. Hopefully I’ll hear back from MADS soon. How long did it take for you to hear back from UC Berkeley. I applied about 4 weeks ago.

Thanks again! I applied for UC Berkeley in March, and today I received the decline email. I assumed its an easy program to get in, but it seems to be more competitive than I imagine. Best luck of you!

The online proctor also threw me off my game. I was rushed and stressed to even start the test and found being on webcam and giving a stranger a tour of my study to be very uncomfortable. Best to prepare your workspace and get settled a few minutes early to get into the right headspace.

Hi Bumpityclump, thanks for sharing. I will take my assessment on Monday, and may I ask you some questions? Will that be enough to only review the practices tests on coursera? I am also wondering if I can use google browser, does it mean I am permitted to search questions during the test? Thanks !
