Feel like I’m going insane trying to restudy for second GRE. Relearning verbal strategies to hope to see score increase, and just feeling overwhelmed and discouraged. 3 weeks out from exam. Hoping to use last 2 weeks as time to focus and chill but just so overwhelmed and stressed right now. Would appreciate any suggestions / words of encouragement because you can all be so kind and helpful!

Raised my score 10 points in 5 weeks (really only studying the last three). Carve out a reasonable, but not massive amount of time to study. I did 5 hours on weekend days and 1.5 hours on weeknights for two of the last three weeks. Focus on the basics and drill what you commonly missed.

Then get in the right headspace. Practice breathing exercises the week leading up to it. Do a 5 minute YouTube meditation every day. I know it sounds really hippie-dippie but it can really help.

You’ve got this.

Background check question. Had a grad school project on my resume with a company. Project was 8 months work with company and 3 months of prep training. This was considered a volunteer role and I have no W2s or anything associated.

On my BGC I listed the 11 months listed above. My previous resume listed this under my education, so I never had exact dates. Grad school was several years back.

Q1 is this kosher to list 11 months?
Q2 anything I should do to clarify?
Q3 does MBB care about vol?
