So i sneaked out of office in the afternoon for some "personal" work. And then gave the GREat exam. For all the GRE aspirants i only have one advice - please don't trust barron's when it comes to the aptitude part. I had never been so scared before while doing aptitude. Getting an 800 was more to save the face than getting anything out of it for an admit. And i could see myself turning yellow, which happens when you are "shit" scared.
For a while i seriously contemplating(GRE effect) of cancelling my score. But then i was already late in giving it. I would not make it this season if i had cancelled. So i went ahead. Managed a boundary line score. More importantly quant did not disappoint.
10 days later i had TOEFL, which some of my friends said, would be a walk in the park. Well i liked the park so much that i came back for a second time.
Like 6 days before the CAT i get this mail from ETS which told that their software somehow could not catch my voice and so they could not rate my speaking section which effectively means the whole process is void and that i had to take the exam all over again.Well for one i don't need a mike to address an audience in a theater and then this crap happening with me.
When i contacted the ETS guys, they had more interesting things to say. "This is the first time in the history of TOEFL Ibt that i have heard of something like this" with a sense of bewilderment that only a man who all along thought he was a woman would have surpassed.
6 days to go for the most competitive exam in the world and then this.
oh by the way its a walk in the jungle when it comes to the length of the exam. Some 100 miles long jungle.
