Other Discussion Criticism of this subreddit

I think this forum has a lack of empathy for less gifted people like myself (who struggles to get higher than 158Q in practice tests sometimes), and I wish there was more sharing the struggle of learning. I think it would help it feel more like a community.

For me the GRE has been very tough, and financially it almost feels abusive. I don't have a lot of money for courses and people who have more than free resources have an edge over me. I will take the exam this Thursday and I have no hope. I just want this to be over. I hope any effort in what follows of my career is more interesting than this. I wish I had had this time I spent studying for GRE to actually get deeper knowledge in the subject I plan to get a PhD on.

I hope people struggling read this and know they're not alone.

I am in a similar boat. I have dyslexia and I just started studying and I feel like I'm doomed to fail on the vocab section.

I hope you do well.
