GRE Online Test: A good experience with unexpected surprises!
Magoosh student, Ellen, appreciated the benefits of taking the GRE online, in her own apartment. She even improved her score 11 points (congrats, Ellen!) and exceeded her goal score. She shares her experience, tips, and top takeaways from the experience.
In this video, Ellen answers questions such as:
00:00 - GRE At Home intro
02:48 What did your test-taking set up look like?
04:18 What kind of webcam did you use?
06:48 Which type of computer did you use?
09:58 What were the rules during breaks?
12:00 How did you approach studying?
Ellen's top tip: Don't worry when the proctor goes silent for a long time (up to 15 minutes!). They will come back.
