Hello everyone,
So I am in a rough situation. I obviously want to go to vet school, i have the experience, my gpa isn't great (3.2), but I am doing a masters program specifically designed to help boost the gpa for those that want to go to vet school. The only thing I am lacking is a solid GRE score. So far i have taken in 4 times...and I will probably need to take it again...ugh. I feel embarrassed to even admit how many times I have taken it. My highest score is a 980, I wasn't happy with that so after getting a princeton review tutor, I took it again and my score actually went down! to a 970. Maybe I should have waited in between test times, because I took it 2 months after the 980 score. So, I am going to take it again, but I am afraid that my score will not improve. I just want to break a 1000. My highest verbal score is OK, a 520, and my highest math was a measly 480. too bad those scores are from two different tests.
I don't even know why it went down even after the tutoring because I really thought he helped. Maybe I should just focus on pacing and keep taking practice tests over and over? I know all of the curve balls ETS can throw at me its just I think that maybe I get nervous and spend too much time on certain problems.
Any advice anyone?
Sorry this is so long!
