I feel you dude! Been taking practice tests for quant and it's.. it's not pretty... I've always been bad with algebra and it doesn't help that my study partner excels at math.
Quant is rough... Verbal is rough too but not as crazy as quant... I've been scoring so low on practice exams ugh.

I haven't taken it yet but I'm hearing a lot of people having mixed experiences. I know theres a lot of issues surrounding Proctor U and at times internet inconsistencies. I myself am wondering whether I should take it at home... Hopefully this goes well for you!

I feel so anxious for this cycle personally. This is my first time applying and I am preparing for those rejections. I'm extremely stressed for the GRE's. I've stated before that I'm a really bad test-taker. I'm sure everyone is nervous. Who else can relate??

Another interesting point I've seen is the implication of making schools be GRE-blind instead of GRE-waived. For example, will some students be favored more because they submitted their GRE scores vs others who didn't? I think the only good solution is to make this application season GRE blind, to decrease bias, since there are PI's who favor the GRE when they admit students. Curious about everyone else's thoughts on this!
Exactly. I'm really concerned about this because the closest "open" GRE center by me is 5 hours away and I can't do the take home test due to internet inconsistencies. I just think school's shouldn't consider even looking at GRE's this cycle at all due to the current ongoing pandemic affecting the whole nation differently. GRE testing being "optional" is also so annoying because of the bias that exists between an applicant that has submitted their scores vs. the applicant that didn't...

Also, what is everyone's opinions on submitting the GRE subject scores this year when they are optional? I don't want to sign up for the test just to realize that schools won't care about it this year!
I'd say it depends on the program you are applying to and reach out to admissions for each school to inform them about the GRE crisis and explain your situation. Everyone should be aware that this crisis was unprecedented and has caused many people stress... I'm at the same place but with the general GRE's. Waiting until September to see what happens!

I'm honestly starting to worry about the GRE's. Standardized testing is not my strong suit and I was supposed to take it end of August but testing centers are still closed.... They do have at home testing but my house is super chaotic ughhh.. I only want to take it once and aim for a really good score (around 315). I have so much anxiety !!!

Hi Everyone, I'm super new to this!! I'm a first time applicant applying to a number of PhD programs and a few interesting PsyD's. Currently, I'm making a list of schools to apply to which are mainly New York based (yes I know I am limiting my chances, but staying in the state is a priority for me). I just graduated with my MA in psychology and I am ready to advance my education further. I have almost 3 years worth of research experience and some clinical experience. I'm working on my thesis while contributing to other research projects and I have had one poster presentation at APA so far. My concern right now is the GRE's. I am a really horrible test-taker and even worse at math. I got my MA along with my BA in an accelerated dual degree program thats how I didn't have to take the GRE's. My GPA is a 3.9. I am studying for the GRE's but the testing centers by me aren't even open yet so things are still weird right now with COVID-19. I have so much anxiety with this whole process, I'm rooting for everyone who's applying this upcoming cycle !!!!
