10 Days To Go - What's My Best Study Tactic?

[CarefreeWritingsontheWall]

Alright. 24 hours to go. I have a few small things left to review today but overall I know that it's impossible to cram. Today is more about a little practice with plenty of breaks and just being relaxed heading into tomorrow. For better or worse it will be over on Saturday by 5PM.

Well, yesterday could have gone better. My preliminary scores are V158 and Q152. This is right in the middle of the ranges Magoosh was predicting (Q 150-155 and V 155-160) I could have used more practice, but unfortunately I was short on time. Test day anxiety oddly wasn't an issue - I didn't let it get the best of me.

Carefree, congratulations! You're done with it. And not a bad score at all given that you weren't sure you had enough time.

Thanks PhdApplicant. I'm re-adjusting some aspects of my application strategy. The GRE is by far the weakest element of my profile, but I don't think it entirely rules out applying. It's worth at least trying. I hope that my posting here can be informative to some. I'm happy to have gotten such an increase relative to when I first wrote it, and even my first practice test during this round of preparation.
