So, knowing the fact that there can be hundereds of distractions at home, I decided to take the exam on center.
HOW I PREPARED, TOTAL SCORE - 313
devoted not more than 3 hours a weeek
no studies on sat and sun
engaged in various other activities so that the prep doesnt become tedious.
FOR VERBAL -V155
took gregmat's vocab tests on youtube every 3 to 4 days. noted the words I did not know and revised it daily
practiced only official questions on greprep club.
most of my focus was on vocab since my RC was weak.
I improved from V143 TO V155.
FOR QUANTS -Q158
Did a set of 25 to 30 questions on greprep club.
Since DI was difficult for me, I always attempted it in the end.
I always practiced jumbled questions so that every topic is covered.
For this I used material from Manhattan, Princeton and Kaplan too
Although, my maths has always been good, don't know what went wrong that I scored so less in quants. On my previous attempt I scored Q165. On every other mock test, i scored atleast 160.
My target was atleast 320, but I found the quants a little difficult and I still cannot make out what went wrong in that section.
Anyway, I will not be re attempting the test.
I would like to thank CARCASS for all his time and help. He has helped me on every step, in each question again and again. Whether it is making the strategy or dealing with the failure, he has guided me like a friend.
I would suggest not to waste money on taking expensive classes, but put in effort to connect with people like him, who will help you genuinely and be persistent in your studies.
Hope it helps in some way.
Thanks and All the best!!
