Thank you for sharing! I scored a 147 on my first try so your story really hit home. I unfortunately have a very low UGPA so I do have to retake. Thank you for the tips! Do you have contact info. you are willing to share?
I wouldn't overdo it, but certainly you can start a light study schedule now. However, I would consider taking a real test in early 2022 to see how you do. If you are lucky, you might reach your target score and not need to retake the test.
