My scores are genuine and I took GRE too on my own.
A lot of students in line were failing to answer very basic questions. They probably ruined her mood and by the time it was my turn odds were against me.

Finding a slot itself took a lot of effort. I dont know if i have can apply again.. What do you all recommend?
