Preparing for the GRE: Less Than 48 Hours to Go

![IMG_20191130_105238.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYjxTnodkvcMrv8Ff6Nd9xpbfyBiZ7uKPTdFi6qbYXL76/IMG_20191130_105238.jpg)
****
For the past few days, and even now, I have been quite busy preparing for the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). It is an exam that is usually required by most graduate schools in the United States. And as someone who is passionate about studying abroad, the GRE becomes a necessary evil. 

So, I actually decided to stay away from Steem and other online platforms to enable me put some finishing touches to my preparations. Administered by ETS, GRE consists primarily of three sections, namely: The Verbal Reasoning, the Quantitative Reasoning, and the Essay Section. The exam, to be carried out on a computer system and test centre, will last for approximately four hours and will cost roughly $150 for registration.

My preparation has been largely focused on the Verbal Reasoning section, since it appears to be the most difficult section due to the intimidating grandiloquence of the examiners. However, with consistent practice my confidence level is gradually soaring.

 Although I will need a score of 300 and above to catch the attention of the schools on my radar, a score below 290 will require taking the test again by next year since test dates are no longer available for the current year. Certainly, that is not the way to go for me. So, I have two options before me which is: to excel or to do nothing but to excel.
