After waiting the AWA of GRE test several weeks, I finally receive the scores!!!! I got AWA 3.5.

It's really embarrasing to report my verbal scores because it was really really low and it only 2 points less than 160 in the quantity section. I was preparing TOEFL at the same time when I prepared for the GRE, so I put most of the effort on TOFEL and spare only a week to focus on preparing and have myself get familiar with the type of verbal section. I only wrote 2~3 articles of AWA due to a wierd convincing that the writting section must be almost the same as TOEFL, all I had to do was filling in words as mamy as I could with the critical thinking which appeared when I discussed with my team members. However , I was wrong. In the formal exam , the test began with writing , which was totally different from the TOEFL exam. Besides, the atomospher made me really  nervus that I barly could  not operate my brain and mind to create an convincing and mature idea to illustrate the topic I choose and the concept I would like to state. To my relief, at least the typing training everyday worked that I could type over 320 words in each section. After the exam, I though I might only got 2.5~3 points. As a result, it is pretty a good encouragement for me to have the grades with 3.5 points. 

I have to restart preparing for TOEFL again, and I believe it will be the last time for me to take the exam and the best grades I will receive during the application time. 

Hopefully I will enter the graguate school that I dream of four years ago.
