Now, its only half as cumbersome

This has been easily the best week for me this summer. Not only did I get through two of my three jobs-to-do, I received a good reward in both of them. First of them being the driving license for which I was waking up at 6 in the morning all through the summer, the reward being a quick response from the RTO that I got my driving license in less than a week delivered to my house :D. Another effort pertaining to GRE paid off. Although not a great score I am content enough with what I got.

The test score is this satiating because I was very tense, in fact I was never this tense before for any other exam, because I preferred GRE preparation to placement preparation. Anything wrong if happened would not only have ruined my effort but also make the placements more crucial for me, that too with a very little preparation.

Coming to the test, nothing is allowed inside the exam hall except the passport,a must.
Then there is no extra section, a verbal or quant section,that I heard from so many people. There is only an experimental section which you may or may not attempt. And finally coming to applying for the four universities, one should better note their anticipated universities and their states as well, as there are so many universities, they were divided in terms of state. I missed out one of the universities I thought I would apply :(. The universities I sent my score card are: Univ of maryland,college park
Ohio state univ
univ of california,san diego
texas A&M univ

A respite in terms of encouraging your prep: do not be obsessed thinking that the words will be tough. I did not find any tough words in my exam: of course part of that happening can be attributed to the fact that there is still a possibility for 250 marks. But even then i think the most difficult is the most easiest question and that which uses simple words. I was very confused early on when all the questions I got seemed easy to me and since this is a CAT(computer adaptive test) test the level of the question remains easy only when u answer the previous one wrong. But there is a other way of looking at it which did not cross my mind then. The words or questions I know do not imply that they are easy or whatever, but with the natural negative tendency I became over cautious and lost some important time. Adding to my fear there came the reading comprehensions, which I feared the most, in the topic I feared the most(literature).I left out all of them, a whole of six questions which I guessed w/o even seeing the questions. These factors made me think of canceling the test, however the invigilator insisted on proceeding to the score, ultimately made me joyous. I didn't want any thing to prevent me from a good score, this made me resort to something I have never done before in my life wholeheartedly or by myself, devudi bottu pettukunna :)
