I haven't heard anything about an addendum being bad. I would definitely encourage you to write one, especially since your high GPA is going to make you a "splitter" applicant. And I hate to say it, but you do have the opportunity to improve with a …

Get a watch! What's the harm besides spending $15? Worth it.
-
I think it depends on how much you think you can improve between now and September. If it's 3 points or less, take it. Either way, it'll be good practice with the adrenaline under timed conditions.
-
I would look at your BR and see where your weaknesses are. If any of them are fundamental skills, redo the CC for those. If there are any question types that you really struggled with, do some more practice sets and watch the explanation videos. If …

I would start with redoing the LG CC. Skip over anything that you feel 100% confident in and can get in the suggested timeframe, or just do the hardest problem sets. There's little benefit in redoing sequencing board game setups, you know? You (like…

@akistotle omg I meant PAI hahaha I just edited it.

@"lady macbeth" thanks!
-
Thanks, @Louislepauvre! And @stubbsbernard6 I actually just commented on your post! I don't think that it's going anywhere any time soon, other than to sub it out for the GRE at some schools.
-
I seriously doubt it, other than for some of the schools who will accept the GRE. As of now, the ABA requires that each school has to have a standardized ("valid and reliable") evaluation of each applicant. I don't think this will change any time so…

@10000019 that was exactly what I mentioned in a private message. A score over 150 without accommodations will actually hurt you when applying for accommodations. There would have to be a really solid paper trail of disability treatment and a compel…

@"lady macbeth" do you try to anticipate the answer, or do you just read through the choices and see what makes sense?
-
Allow yourself to take a short break to do something mindless like watching a tv show. When you get back into studying, you'll likely be able to focus better. Sometimes, our minds are just begging us to put the pencil down. Also, make sure you are s…

Definitely write an addendum to explain this. I'm having an issue with multiple school transfers, so I also have some anxiety around application weaknesses. However, all of that stuff is in the past, and it can't be changed. Work on doing the best y…

Yeah it's definitely not easy lol. The majority of people still get turned down.
-
I would say do a PT to see where you're at, use your BR to identify what you need to study, then study that stuff. When you feel more confident, PT again. And I'm so glad that you're open to the burnout idea! I'm so stubborn that I wasn't until I ex…

1) PLEASE do not study 10+ hours per day. Burnout is so real, and everyone thinks it's easy to avoid until it happens. You're already done with the CC, so there's no reason to do that much work anyway. You really need at least one day off (preferabl…

@"Sue Doe Nimb" I agree with the comments above. Plus, there is the monthly chatterbox (financial incentive) contest, which includes comments made on questions.

Thank you! http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r217/lexi0923/Orange-Is-The-New-Black-Yaaas_zpsgoqlnbgo.jpg

I think that PTing will help you figure out how to best employ a skipping strategy. While you're PTing, circle any questions that you feel like you've spent too much time on. While you're doing a BR, really pay attention to what those questions and …
-
I think the GW incident is that the school suddenly reversed its decision to accept the GRE.
-
You made a solid point about recalling information from your studying while doing timed sections. You will not get an accurate score by redoing the same questions you've already seen. However, it's still good practice! Anyway, I think the advice you…
-
Also, @10000019 has a point-- and I think I can speak for both of us in saying that this is out of genuine concern for your wellbeing. My mom actually brought up the same concern for me. However, I think that you should follow your dream (assuming y…
-
You don't need $1800 testing to prove that you have a psychological disability. What you need is a compelling statement from your therapist/psychiatrist explaining why you need the requirements you need. Remember that a diagnosis of depression, anxi…
-
You get a 14-day money back guarantee, so go for the upgrade! Using the question bank, you can drill certain section types with filters for question type, difficulty level, and PT. The LR "drill packs" (I think this is what you're referring to) are…
-
Ok so that^ is good to know. I would withdraw.
-
@10000019 I think it's too late to withdraw. At least it will be good practice!
-
You were already approved, so I'm pretty sure they can't take that away from you. I would actually call and ask if there's any way they can also transfer your accommodations to your July test. They'll probably say no, but worth a shot!
-
An old friend of mine just got into Harvard with her GRE score... so, it's possible. If you're great at math and you're ok with applying only to schools who accept the GRE, take it instead.
-
First, PLEASE do not study 7 days a week. It's amazing that you're willing and able to put in the time, but burnout is real and can hit you out of no where. If lawgic is a problem for you, that should be a top priority. Make sure you really know you…

I would definitely go to the question bank and practice all of the Misc questions! They are all relatively weird and difficult.
