Shilpa was working full-time in supply chain operations at Cisco — conference calls after 6pm, a packed schedule, no obvious time to prep.
She carved out 3 hours every day, gave the GRE twice, and scored a 329. Here's what her preparation actually looked like.
What Shilpa covers:

How she restructured her daily schedule around work to protect 3 hours of prep every day
Why her tutors pushed her to practice GMAT-level questions for a GRE exam — and why that worked
The flexibility of personal tutoring that let her prep fit around her life, not the other way around
What it takes to score at the top end of GRE when you're not a full-time student

Shilpa's GRE prep story is particularly useful if you're working full-time and wondering how to fit serious preparation into a real schedule. The approach Crackverbal used with her — deliberately practicing harder questions than the exam requires — is something worth understanding before you start your own prep. A 329 on GRE is a top-percentile score, and it came from two months of focused, structured work around a demanding job at Cisco.
