If you’ve taken the GMAT, what was your score on your first practice test (without studying). Just took one and got a 72nd percentile on verbal but 45th on quant:/. Wondering whether to take the GRE

I only took it after studying and got 740. Real exam was 760 (online version). Im studying for GREs rn and the vocab for GRE is def a bigger pain for me as a international kid. So if you're comfortable with that I'd say go for it. The GRE is more versatile too.

SPHR exam- has anyone ever been “randomly selected” for an application audit? This just happened to me and the sheer amount of effort that is going to go into collecting all the documents almost makes me not want to follow through. Since I didn’t finish undergrad, they’re asking for a copy of my high school diploma or transcript and that itself is going to be an absolute nightmare to get hold of. Guess I’m not really looking for a solution here, just venting.

I am trying to figure out how to switch to SWE. I have a masters in civil engineering and have a good background in higher level math. It looks like the better coding boot camps are quite expensive.

I’m looking to get into the best position possible after getting an education in CS (get a job quick and good pay).
