Hey buddy... good luck, I've got a week to go as well.

I'm also bringing some panadol and a jumper (in case you sit right under an AC).

  • Passport/Proper identification
  • Water/Energy drink(Make sure you don't drink too much in the break!Also,some energy drinks elevates the need for water..so be careful)
  • Food(Sandwiches,Protein bars or whatever works best)
  • Jacket(Even if you think you won't require one)
  • Any medicines which you think will be essential(Many people tend to get headaches out of the stress)
  • For us females:something to keep the hair out of your way
  • Glasses/Contacts(If you wear one..be on the safe side..you never know!)
  • Handkerchief(Useful if you want to splash water on your face during the break)(

Note:
No sugary drinks or snacks(It won't last long..you'll crash before the exam is over)
Avoid caffeine.
Fat is great for making your brain hum.
Be slightly on the hungry side rather than slightly on the full side - it will keep you awake. (But only slightly hungry - if your stomach is growling, that means you don't have enough energy!)

Guys,

finally done with my exam. I got 640 (Quant : 48 Verbal 30). You see where the bummer is Verbal :evil:

I am applying for partime programs and 640 is okay for the universities that I hoped for, so I guess its both a good news and a bad news... Good news is , the score is okay and can go ahead with applications .Bad score is the distatesful residue of the bad score.

You know what the verbal questions seemed very easy and I actually got this feeling that ,why the hell is it this easy..the RC's are easy to understand, SC are of moderate length, CR's are not very complicated..heeehhh

and when I was doing quant I was like what the heck I didnt come across such questions may be im failing that sinking feeling and the result bam quant 48 verbal 30

my energy is drained, i am feeling awful :( I dont have the energy to retake.My ego is not satisfied.BUT I will go ahead..
