Hi everyone! I took the GRE for the first time last year, I got 162Q and decided to not apply and just work another year.

This year I took it two times and today was my last attempt before application deadlines. My previous scores:

162Q 153V 3.5 AWA

162Q 153V 4.0 AWA

165Q 156V 4.0 AWA

168Q 153V (waiting) AWA

The programs I want to apply do not ask for a high score on verbal or AWA, so I did not studied for those a lot. But I have to say that everything I read and watch is on English.

I have to say that practicing timing and learning to not be nervous were the major factors to increase from 162Q to 168Q
