And I lived literally 200 steps from where I worked, I could see my workstation from my balcony.īut that's anecdotal, you need to decide on this soon if you can do both or not. From giving my IELTS to collecting my student residence permit it took many days of effort which would not have happened if I was still working long hours. I quit in 2017 and joined my University in Autumn period 2018. If you're determined to have this education, you will need to grind through the boring parts of the test, parts which you'd rather not study after a long day at work. And the best you can do with a not so supportive work environment is to schedule your fights and pick what you can. Give yourself some time if the recommendations and cover letters are to be sent by mail and not email, which is the case with a bunch of Universities. So shortlist the Universities you wish to apply for, find their deadlines, and make sure you have your test results, GRE or other tests, and have your recommendations ready by then. Most Universities will be happy to have recommendation letters from your home universities, you need not continue pleasing your managers and colleagues. Focus on the ones you're struggling with and try to increase your score. Give mock tests of each section over the weekends and see how you score in them. Even if it's stretched over weeks and not everyday, schedule what you study in advance. I think by now you know the sections of GRE. (It's an entirely different debate if one should choose American or European Universities.

It's easier than GRE in my opinion, which is mostly for American Universities. Which universities are you applying for? If possible, try for IELTS. Prepping for Autumn periods means you'll have to apply to most universities by November, though some European ones will accept them much later too.
