Hey folks! A bit about me, so I am Indian, working in Finance Ops for close to 4 years now. I took the first shot at the GRE on 21st March 2026 and scored a 318 (158Q and 160V). Since the quant score was lower than the ideal threshold for most of the B-schools I was targeting, I decided to book the GRE for taking another shot at it, just to bring my quant score to somewhere around 165 on 15th May 2026. I ended up scoring a 329 (168Q and 161V), to my delightful surprise, I not only maintained my verbal score but actually marginally improved it. Since I had not focused on preparing for verbal, this was a pleasant surprise for me. A key tip I believe everyone should never take for granted is that staying calm on the exam day can easily improve your GRE score by around 5 points. I would love to help anyone, especially my Indian Brethren (I know how high the “score bar” is for us), who would love to learn from my improvement strategy. Feel free to either reply to this post or HMU.…
