When I started preparing for the GRE, I made the mistake of telling everyone about my goals and target score. Constant questions about my progress only added pressure and made me more anxious. Eventually, I decided to keep my preparation more private and focus on my own pace. While looking for study tips, I even came across discussions about confidentially pass GRE, which made me realize that many students prefer to work quietly toward their goals. Once I stopped comparing my progress to others and concentrated on consistent practice, I felt more confident and productive. Has anyone else found that keeping their GRE preparation private helped reduce stress and improve focus?
