 And I know that this is a very difficult test. It is very, very, very hard. You ain't double ass. You ain't double ass. You ain't double ass. Do it my dance, hey. I'm doing my dance.

So I don't know if this is your first time or not, but if it is not your first time, you've likely seen my everything you need to know about the GRE in eight minutes video. And I've had some comments and questions about like, oh, well, why did you get on your GRE? Or oh, she probably didn't even really do that good. Or you know, like there's like these little back and forth stuff. And so I was like, well, I will reveal to you what I made on my GRE. So that's what this video is going to be. I'm going to actually tell you guys what I got on my GRE. And then again, just kind of give you the things that I did to study for my GRE. Cause I continue to get these questions. And I know that this is a very difficult test. It is very, very, very hard. You ain't nobler, you ain't nobler, you really ain't nobler. So with respect to my GRE, I mean, I think I did really good. The GRE scored out of 340 and I got a 322. So I mean, I thought that that was a really decent GRE score. And I knew that I needed to actually do really well on my GRE because I wasn't like the strongest with respect to GPA. Like I made a lot of stupid mistakes my freshman year. Well, not really my freshman year. It was more so like my sophomore slash junior year. Like there was like a little dip in certain things. Like I wasn't really having like the best time in undergrad, like a lot of loss and things were happening in my life. And so my grades were affected by that. But I knew that once I was trying to get into PA school, I needed to have something that would combat that, that would be able to say, hey, I absolutely can do this. So I studied hard and I studied for a month and I was fortunate enough to not be working that summer. So I wasn't working, I wasn't taking any classes or anything like that. So I had a month where I literally studied for the GRE like it was my job. I studied eight hours a day from eight to five. I did block studying. So I had previously taken the MCAT because I was going to be a physician. That's what I wanted to be in OBGYN. And then I decided against that. You guys heard my story on why I decided against that. And so I had this schedule for exam crackers. And I think it came through, I had another schedule as well but I melded the two schedules and from that schedule, that's what I followed. I followed that to say, hey, you know, from eight to 10 I'm going to do quantitative questions. From 10 to 10 30, I'll take a break. From 10 30 to 12, I'll do verbal reasoning. And then I'll take my lunch break and then from one to two, again, I'll do quant. From two to two 15, I'll take a break. From two 15 to three 15, I will do verbal reasoning again. And then I took the least amount of time for analytical writing. I kind of like left that towards the end every day where I would just do like practice writing. I had the book, I used Kaplan's book. So I used the Kaplan GRE prep book. I got it from the library. I like, I just did not have the money to spend on all of these other like resources that were charging like hundreds of dollars for this. So I was like, I know that my GRE test is going to be a couple hundred dollars in and of itself. Like how am I going to now stem this? So I would went, I went to the library. I got like GRE for dummies. I got all of the GRE prep books that I could possibly find. I used the Princeton review. I used exam crackers because I felt like some of the things that I would see on the MCAT with respect to the math section, like, you know, like the physics and math section would be relatable to the GRE. And I had those books myself because I was studying for the MCAT prior. And I just used all of those review books and I combined them with my study schedule. So from doing that, I would also have flashcards. Now, like this was before Quizlets was like a big thing, but I'd have like actual handwritten flashcards with the GRE words. And I would just go through and do these GRE words. Now, some of you are like, I've never heard these words in my life. Is this like just for the test or is this for real life? Is this for PA school or grad school? No, it's not for PA school or grad school. Just like, you know, some of the words that you see on your SAT you're not necessarily using in life, but it's just another kind of thing to see, like test you and see how you're learning and how you're obtaining information and retaining that information. So no, I'm not using loquacious in PA school. However, it was a word that I needed to know. So you definitely just kind of have to go through and use these flashcards, but that is what I did. I continuously did flashcards and I would do that throughout the day. Like even though I was supposed to be on break during, you know, my lunch break, just kind of having time to like go watch a show or something, just kind of have mindless thought. I would still have those flashcards and be going over them on my actual like commercial break. So I did that and I did that for four whole weeks. I only did that. I did that like that eight to five on Monday through Friday. I, you know, had my Sabbath and I rested on Friday night to Saturday night, Saturday night. I did stuff like with my family, not like my, not my family family, not just my personal family, but you know, extended family, whatever events was happening, I would engage in that. And then from that on Sunday again, I would study a little bit longer, maybe like 12 hours because it was Sunday and you're not typically doing stuff on Sunday. So I would do that. And then again, just continue on with my whole regiment. And I mean, I, it paid off for me. I did pretty well on my GRE and I got into PA school. And you know, I think that that was one of the really like important determining factors for helping me get into PA school. Cause like I said, like my GPA was maybe like a three five and a three three, um, CUME and science base. And that was after me retaking classes because again, I did not do my best when I was actually in undergrad. So I had to somehow combat that. And I was able to overcome that and do well. So for those of you who had questions on that, this is my score. This is the plan that I did. I had a schedule, make yourself a schedule, stick to that schedule. Not everybody is fortunate enough to not have to work for a month and just study for the GRE. And so if you have to break that down into two months because you're studying and you're, and you're working full time and you only have four hours a day to dedicate to the GRE prep, then do that. Whatever it is that you have available, that time that you have available to you, you do that and you do it to the best of your ability. So if you're working full time, just like in PA school, maybe you come home at five or six and then from seven to 10 or seven to 11, you're studying and that is fine. Just as long as you're finding ways to retain that material. And now Kaplan and Magoosh and these other places have all of these GRE preps online. They have these sites that you can go to online and just kind of go through, run through questions and take prep tests. And so is ETS, which is the GRE site itself. So I suggest you go through and use all of the resources available to you and study hard, pray if you're spiritual and then take that test. If you liked this video, go ahead and hit that like button.
