Your credentials don't look bad at all. Do you have good LORs?
Don't stress too much over the subject GRE, it's a pretty easy exam. I studied for a couple of days for it using a princeton book, but I realized while actually writing the paper that what helped way more than my couple of days of studying was random pieces of information from undergrad courses that I didn't even know I had stored away in my head. I still screwed it up, but that's because in my country we have to take the paper based test for the subject GRE and I miscalculated the time it would take to fill up the answer sheet :/ :/
How can I judge the quality of the LORs?
Thanks for the replies everyone. I couldn't reply in time since I was not notified by Email.

@Macchiato Woops, I forgot to mention that I was looking for test materials related to the GRE Chemistry Subject test, not general GRE. Thanks a lot though!

Hello everyone!
I am planing to graduate this semester with a BSc in chemistry. I am planning to apply to various PhD programmes in North America as well as a couple in Australia. I have signed up for the GRE Chemistry subject test and I have tried obtaining past exams but I didn't find any, does anyone know how can I obtain past exams other than the one provided by ETS?
Also, I am kind of worried since my research experience isn't as impressive as that of many PhD candidates here, so I am kind of worried that my credentials will not be enough, so I would really appreciate it if you guys took a look at my credentials below and share with my your thoughts whether I'd get accepted or what:*I come from a country where English is not the official language.
* GPA: 3.82 (highest honours) Major GPA: 3.97
* TOEFL iBT: 113
*1 research internship, no published papers, 4-months long.
* I have been working on my senior thesis for roughly an academic year now.
* I spent a Summer semester at the University of Cambridge.
* I have been a senator at the student senate at my university.
* I have been an active member in the Chemistry Association.
Edit: I am looking for GRE Chemistry Subject test past exams.
Should I Retake the General GRE?

Hello everyone!
I just took the General GRE Test earlier today and scored V158 and Q159, I realize that this somehow might be acceptable depending on the strength of the other aspects of my application, but I am not confident that this score will get me anywhere since I don't know anyone who applied to schools in the US or in Europe (particularly both technical schools in Switzerland, ETH and EFPL that I am planning to apply to). Should I retake the test?
