Congrats, nice addition. great job dood. how did the test go?
man....im glad you asked. So I went to the test center. AWA was gravy as hell - super easy. Quant went well too. Verbal sank hard. Like, REAL hard.
At home I wasn't used to practicing with AWA so I pretty much bottomed out at around the 20th problem. The passage I felt was super dense talking about goat liver and crap. So after all was said and done, I felt that it wasn't 600 level (for sure, I usually get a pretty good feeling) so I ended up canceling.
Yes, I'm very disappointed but I have another chance to take it before deadline apps so right now I'm just using Kaplan's CAT's (since I heard they were harder) and I'm doing everything full-fledged now - AWA + timed breaks.
I did one today and I will say that with and without makes a huge difference. I would normally take my breaks in between sections with a little water and food and sometimes lose track of time but will always get back on it.
The timed breaks and AWA makes a huge difference. I took the "free" Kaplan today and it definitely confirmed my suspicion - got a 570. Quant is ok but verbal I start fuzzing out because I lose concentration cause I get tired and words get fuzzy. Now I have 31 days to perfect that. The SC is ok but worse for the RC especially when they save the longest ones for later. Hate that.
