So, I took my GRE this December 2020, and thought of sharing my experience with the whole GRE at home situation due to Covid-19. I hope it helps those who are about to take the test online. Follow me on Instagram: / vaishology
@@vaishology922 How are you able to write with this dumb marker on white board its writing so bold can't even figure what I wrote, can you help me on this what to do? And for this I researched and got some thin markers but no use writes same bolder
@@rajaranjith5151 try the camlin marker its tip is thinner but it is difficult to hold but I guess it's ok. You don't have to solve that much in quant section. Even I got the thin markers but they were much bolder😑 so I opted for the camlin marker
Hi, is 12 minutes the threshold for starting the session on the proctor u page after the timer goes off, or for completing the ID process with the live proctor and launching the test, from the time the timer goes off?
Thank you for the informative video! Did you use the whiteboard normally like you would use a notebook (kept on the table), or did you have to keep it vertically or something to ensure that the proctor could see it at all times?
Thank you for the video. Can you please mention where you keep the whiteboard when you are writing on it? During the exam, is it required that the whiteboard is visible to the proctor through the camera?
If they take control of the mouse, are we still able to use it to go back and forth the questions in the section, open the calculator, click next etc. Kindly let me know.
Hi. If i take computer delivered test at centre ,how is writing section conducted ( Analytical section) ? Will we have to write on paper or we will have to type on computer ?
If we receive a pop up message from the proctor as you mentioned w.r.t the camera visibility, the time used to change the settings etc. Will it reduce my actual test time or it will be paused until the error is fixed ?
Also can you please tell that how was the paper setting means save the question reciew question and moving to other section and coming back to first section something like that
Hey vaishnavi, thanks for the video. So i am not able to install the ets browser, it shows try again later. I tried all the troubleshooting stuff which was mentioned on the pdf on the ets website, but still can't install the browser. What do you think must be the issue?
I have my name on the gre score card with my first and last names interchanged( ie the way it is given in all my certificates and Aadhar ) . Do I have to change it to my passport format ( ie first name - last name ) I had no problem while giving my computer test
Hi. Thank you for the informative video. Just a simple query. I read somewhere that the whiteboard must be visible to the proctor while writing. Is this true? Asking because I prefer keeping it on the table on the side and working on it (however it is not visible in that scenario)
Thanks for your clip, I did the test at home, they cancelled my score after 5 months, they send me an email to inform me that I used recording software or device, but I did do wrong thing, if I used unauthorised software, the proctor would find out, how do you think?
I registered for ets but i haven't got the credentials of my procturu account. Is there a secific procedure that i need to follow or they'll give it by themselves?
What is we encounter a power cut in between the test? Would our test be cancelled or we can resume in between after connecting to our secondary internet connection ?
Hi vaishnavi I am not able to login to my Proctor U account. It is asking for enrollments and I have none specified within the dropdown menu. I am not able to get the issue resolved as I am not able to chat with the representative. Please suggest
I bought it from a local store. The closest I found online to that was this:: www.amazon.in/Magnetic-White-Board-Whiteboard-Classrooms/dp/B08YKBPM8V/ref=sr_1_42?dchild=1&keywords=white+board&qid=1623646183&sr=8-42
Very informative. Thanks. Can I keep my whiteboard in my lap? And if I do use the hotspot of my mobile, is it mandatory to switch off my phone? What if the internet connection goes for 5-6 minutes?
You can do that. Just don't do anything that can get them suspicious. About the phone hotspot, just inform your proctor about it and keep it at a distance.
I bought it from a stationery shop, this is an online exam. You'll have to arrange everything. They (ETS) will give you the test and a virtual calculator.
Hi since you said you took gre test on december 21, might I ask when did you receive the result? I wonder if Christmas day was excluded during the 15 days-process. Thank you!
Very informative. Thanks!!....Just a small doubt...which would be better, GRE at home or GRE at a local center...like is there any priority given if I write it in the center?
I would recommend centre if you have the choice since you don't have to worry about wifi or electricity cut then. But there's no priority or anything. It's the same ones it's given.
I've haven't applied for any uni... just for safe hand i thought ill give gre test so it'll be useful after few months... my doubt is when they ask for reporting scores for any 4 uni that time can I leave it blank since I've not applied to any uni and I'm taking tets for future use.. can i do so? what if i do and don't do?
