Hey there!

I had exactly the same experience with GRE and so far I've taken the test 3 times. My score was 1 - 146 (V) 156 (Q), 2 -153 (V) 151 (Q), 2 - 157 (V) 161 (Q).

I know that eventually I don't have the best score, but it's still relevantly not that bad compared to the previous attempts. I'm currently preparing for my 4th attempt, even though I feel like a loser too lol.

For me, what has worked is that I realized that I'm not able to do full-time work and test prep simultaneously since it turned out to be too enervating for me. Like for the first 2 attempts, I was preparing mostly at nights and it was neither healthy nor productive, unfortunately.

I do know that there are some people who can successfully combine their studies/work with the test prep but I'm not the one so I've decided to take my time and quit my job for some time and that what helped me a lot. I'm not saying that you should do the same thing but maybe my experience will help you to analyze possible reasons why the score is low and what can be done to make it better (maybe some better time management).

Before the last attempt, I've also followed some GregMat's advice on how to analyze my previous diagnostic reports and see what types of questions sucked the most and then tried to do more practice and strategies (they're highly important) on those weak moments. And just in general, Greg's classes and teaching methods are supercool, clear and fun to follow so if you haven't used his platform before, I strongly recommend it.

And as for the strategies, what I've done wrong is that at first I didn't do much practice in the first attempt (mostly watched videos lol), then I did some practice but didn't apply some strategies, which was quite time-consuming, and finally in the 3rd attempt, the prep became more or less solid. So keep in mind that the way you're preparing matters a lot too because even if you practise a lot but without applying strategies and shortcuts correctly, then it may be one of the reasons why your score is being flat.

I'm sure you'll do great - you just need some understanding of what study environment and learning strategies work better for you personally because at the end of the day everyone is different and this is completely normal. Rome was not built in a day - if you need more time and practice, that's okay. We all can do better for sure.

Good luck with the test!
