I take the GRE for grad school on Saturday (19th). I am so scared. If you’re one to pray, please pray I make above a 150 on each section. I can’t move back in with my abusive family.

🙏 Do your best! All your hard work will pay off. Even now you should be proud of yourself! I’m sure you’ll be fine but some grad schools don’t require GRE if you want back ups just in case to take your mind off of that. But still, I think you’ll do great!!!

You’ve got it, I don’t want to downplay anything but it rly isn’t a challenging test. It’s like if you took the math and reading sections of the ACT and make them a little easier

My sibling does admission consulting for the Ivies: it all depends on your degree. For example, unless you’re going into a math-heavy field, schools don’t really care about how well you do on the math section because you’re not asking to get a degree in anything close to it. I have dyscalculia and barely passed math for most of my life, and they told me straight up that I should have no trouble with the GRE, so that’s a good sign for you! You’ve got this! 💙

I think you misunderstood LMAO I did well enough to get into grad school the first time I took it (also I took it my freshman year of college) and I kept taking it each year to better my score and make me an even more competitive candidate

It’s a test they make you take for grad school. Need a high score, like SAT or ACT

You don’t rly need that much time. I will preface that I am historically a good test taker, but I took half a practice exam the night before the exam while watching my roommates play Call of Duty and got a 310. It is a big step towards grad school, but definitely not a test worth losing sleep over!
