    [Update] After watching this video, dive even deeper with this detailed "7 Days Out" run-through of exactly what to do each day during the week leading up to test day: podcast.dominatetestprep.com/548431/4566068-27-7-days-out-from-test-day. I've also created a checklist that you can download at that link to help keep you on track. Enjoy!

      @@DominatetheGRE I got a 158 verbal 164 quantitative. Thank you so much! I started to panic during the quantitative as I was running out of time, but then I remembered what you said about deep breathing. I was able to relax and budget my very limited remaining time and maximize my score with what I had to work with at that moment. I think this advice is applicable to more tests than just the GRE. Thank you!

    August 26th will be my second time in taking the GRE. Unfortunately, I unsuccessfully took the test May of this year and I wish I had access to your videos prior to that test. Your videos are helping not only on my practice quizzes and tests, but my mentality revolving around this test. I have become substantially less anxious and more confident simply by watching a few of your videos. I am writing this to thank you (: Hopefully I will be able to utilize your tips prior to and during the test this time around!

    i have a test tomorrow, and i just skim over the analytical writing the past two days. yay?

    • @DominatetheGRE
      @DominatetheGRE  6 років тому +1

      I'd suggest writing at least a couple practice essays so that you dial in your time management and can get all of your points down in an organized way in under 30 minutes. Additionally, make sure you really understand how to analyze a logical argument and can clearly identify an author's assumptions and attack/strengthen those assumptions accordingly. A lot of people have never had training in how to do that, so you may benefit from my GRE Analytical Writing course that breaks it all down for you: www.dominatetestprep.com/store/dcLxj8mo. If it's too late and you've already taken your GRE, I hope you did well! If not, consider one of our courses so that you can boost your score the next time around. Best of luck to you!
