What can I do now

[smartypants14]

I just took a practice GRE test. I scored horribly 290. I'm taking it on Saturday..

Any advice on what to do now?

At this point you're pretty much at the end of your studying point. Do the best you can, don't stress too much over it (don't ruin your test because you're stressed you'll do bad), take the test and schedule another test depending on the score. Just make sure you give yourself enough time if you schedule another.

If you are really concerned, you can try to postpone your test date.  You're able to do this up to four days before the test (which means you'd have to do it today).  See here.

 

Otherwise, just do what the above poster said.  Don't stress, take the test, and if you don't like your scores, schedule a retake.  Lots of people take the GRE more than once.  An added bonus of this method is that you'll be able to gauge your strengths and weaknesses on your first test so that you can really target where you'd like to study for your second test.

 

Also, if it makes you feel any better, I scored much lower on my PowerPrep practice tests than I did on my actual GRE.  My GRE verbal score was 5 points higher than the PowerPrep and my quantitative score was 4 points higher than PowerPrep.  You might surprise yourself!

I did horrible!

I think I won't be applying for spring semester, just the upcoming fall...ughh

Will this make my application weak?

It might, depending on what your GPA is like and what experiences you have.

But you still have time to prepare again and retake the test before fall deadlines.
