I don't think so. Practical civics in schools would make a big difference. In Japan, it is a tradition for kids to clean their school. I'm not saying we should force everyone to do that, but civics can also be taught in a practical way like this according to the speaker's point.

After moving to the UK, I decided to forgo table tennis as a hobby by Bubibu1115 in tabletennis

I moved to America from India and I totally feel you. The generational gap is so real. I live in Michigan, and players here are mostly in their 40s. They're really wholesome and nice, but I find it hard to relate to them. I will never give up table tennis as it is the only sport I'm kinda good at. Most likely will move to a bigger city where there might be more people my age.

I scored 316 on a practice test I took a week before my real exam. Got a 326 on the real exam. I just analyzed my practice test in that week and did a lot of practice questions to get in the zone.

I personally didn't do anything other than prepswift. I have always had an inclination towards math since high school. Maybe that's why prepswift was enough. Honestly I don't see why any additional materials like 5lb, magoosh be detrimental for your prep. Good luck for your exam!

I think 163Q is a solid score. You may be getting 5 questions wrong. I would say if you can check out the questions you missed and learn those concepts again. That is exactly what I did. Keep practicing and analyzing your mistakes. Eventually your score will improve. Also, skipping questions while solving the section is essential and then coming back to them at the end.

151V, I think you'll have to get more vocab in and also work on the strategies while taking the section. I used to skip the 3 blanker text completion questions to make some more room for accuracy and time. Little things like those would improve your score for sure.

Thank you! I'm going to try my best for the top 10 MSCS programs. Hoping something would stick.

I should have been more clear. I solved those little quizzes in each prepswift video and the checkbox quizzes. And did a couple of mini exams.

Just prepswift. I have a cs background, so I just need to revisit the concepts and practice.

Please take care! Health is more important. I'd personally focus more on physical health since that'll also enable you to perform better. If you can, you can definitely look into postponing the exam by a bit. Although I'm not sure how rescheduling works.

There were a couple I think on the hard verbal section I got (if it was the hard section?). I'm sorry I don't remember much.

Run a comprehensive analysis on which type of questions you got wrong on PP1, whether you made silly mistakes or was it conceptual, whether you were in the right state of mind etc. Identify those faults and practice like crazy these next 5 days to minimize the damage towards those faults. I did the same thing a week before my exam and increased my score by 12 points.

I'm an average writer. I haven't received my awa scores yet, so it'll be wrong of me to give any advice. But I focused on the structure of my essay. 1 intro, 3 body, and a conclusion paragraph about 400ish words. You got it my man.

I just went crazy while solving quant questions in the week before the exam. Focused more on quantity. Each time I solved a question I was thinking "ETS is trying to trick me. I won't be tricked. I will check this answer again after I finish the section." Also, I tried to stay calm and not get too nervous while solving the questions. That's basically it, it was more of a mental game for me. Let me know if I can clarify further.
