It's my first too. I feel pretty bummed, but I'm still applying to see what happens. I'm also planning to retake in June as a backup (if I don't get in where I want to go, I plan to reapply next cycle). Good luck and hope this helps!
thanks for your reply.
I'm still not sure how it works...it says for each school it costs $30.
So this is in addition to the $175 (for making CAS) and application fee each school requires right?
@stgl1230
@vduran1988 no worries. anyway, I believe CAS is available for purchase at any time throughout the year. I would purchase as soon as possible though, so that you can get your transcripts and LORs in...those can take time.
Yup, that would be the CAS. Just to piggyback off of what @stgl1230 said, you really should get it soon. It takes time for CAS to request and process your transcript. It only took them 2 days for mine, but I've heard of it taking longer for other people.
I just got home. I went out for a late lunch with a friend after the test, and then had about an hour drive home. My test ran far quicker than I expected. Report no later than 830, and I think we finished the writing sample at 1PM.
