Two months ago, as a GRE Exam taker, I felt utterly defeated when my mock test showed 295 t seemed like my dreams of grad school were slipping away. I remember sitting in my room with tears streaming down my face, feeling worthless despite all the hours I had poured in. That night, my brother walked in and said, Why are you giving up so soon? You always told me small steps build big changes. His words sparked something within me. From the next day, I created a realistic plan: one hour revising vocabulary each morning, another for quant practice in the afternoon, and a final hour reading verbal reasoning and AWA essays at night. Weekends were for full length timed tests and analysing every mistake to understand my weak areas. Slowly, my scores improved to 310, then 318, and finally, after two months of consistent effort and believing in myself, I achieved 325. On test day, I cried again but this time with joy, realising that with focus, small daily steps, and faith in your journey, any GRE Exam taker can overcome their fears and achieve their goals.
