Not to be harsh or arrogant here, but sounds to me like you went into this half assedly!!! Are you asian of any sort, southeast, east, or South Asian?? Just curious cuz of the parental pressure comment.
Yes I am south asian (Indian)
I'd take HippocratesX's advice seriously. He's got the best post on here so far in terms of advice.
You are not going to do well if you are not focused. Focus and confidence are the keys to success. Focusing not just on the day of the test but before the test when you are studying and preparing. From what I can see you really need a lot of work in understanding the fundamentals of your basic prereq courses and need even more time spent on practice tests and materials.
I agree with the focus part, I did lack that both the times. I need to focus and not lose track and understand the fundementals, I realize that. I have them in my mind, but they are just a little rusty. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH VERBAL though.
I'd even consider taking a course if you haven't already.
I dont think I need that, all i need to do is get my ass on the quiet floor of the library and enjoy the torture.
You need to take a lot of practice tests and take them timed as if you were sitting for the real deal tomorrow. Then you need to go over every question including the ones you got right and decide which one's you got right because you guessed right vs. which ones you got right because you knew the material and why you got the wrong answers on the questions you got wrong. Were they wrong because you were forced to guess due to lack of time or were they wrong because you didn't know the material?? Or perhaps was it some other strategical matter such as there gbeing 2 answer choices which were similar and you not being able to identify which was the "better" of the answer choices??
I agree, its the difference between knowing and doing. I know it but I dont do it, therefore making knowing useless in the end
These are the types of questions you have to ask yourself. Then you have to devise a plan on how you are going to study for it. The key to studying is not just memorizing facts, figures, and formulas. Rather, it is to learn the material on a conceptual level and how to apply it to a given situation. You need a lot of work and need to seriously consider taking a lot more then 1-2 months to take it. In fact, I'd consider waiting a whole year at the minimum if not longer and in that time learn the material well and practice a lot. At minimum, I'd at least wait 6 months and study hard core and try to correctly identify what is causing you to continually do unwell with the test.]
I am not going to take the test unless my practice score reflects the score I want, so hopefully I will be able to gauge.
