thanks a lot for your response
i'm quite nervous , i don't enough time to retake the exam because i'm applying in January .
i'm lost between reading RC passages or reading fiction books, i think the passages cover more topics like history science and other than the fiction books . are you agree ?

Well, for starters I am sorry that I cannot comment on the topics of the REAL THING.

But I can tell you that they were very easy. I can't be sure of the questions but the passages themselves were pretty easy to understand. Anyway the RC doesn't expect any knowledge from your end, so the topic WILL NOT be a problem. The only thing is that if you see a long passage, DO NOT get intimidated and attack it head on. The answers are very easy if you read the passage properly, IMHO.

About the nervousness, have a strategy for it. Think of something to do when you get nervous.

During my test, I finished the quant section with 2 secs on the clock. I did the last question in the last 25 secs. While clicking on the next button, my hands were trembling!!! When I walked out to take a break, I was still trembling. I sat on the chair outside and closed my eyes and started taking deep breaths. I was fine in 30 secs. Try it, maybe it will work for you.

And your test is for December, dude we can take the test twice within that time frame. Maybe you have a lot of workload, but you gotta relax. If you freak out, you have lost 50% of the battle.
