GMAT Strategy

Well - I've been at it for about a month studying for this thing. I've taken 4 practice tests. I'm still not where I'd like to be with quantitative, but at the same time, i'm applying for a local school, which only requires a 400 (though I intend on getting higher than that!)..

Any last words of wisdom? What should I do tonight when I get home from work?

Go see the new BOND movie and relax.

I disagree. I think watching a movie you've already seen is a better idea.

Whenever I watch a new film that has a lot of buzz around it, I tend to digress from time to time and think about different aspects of the film in the following days.

I'd rather watch a movie I've already seen and like. Ex: Casino Royale, Shrek, Departed...

to reiterate what others say.... relax! Don't study too hard. Try to sleep extra early as it may take you a few hours to settle. Many find it hard to sleep the night before.

And... the new bond movie is cool!

LOL

Bacali dont try to think about different aspects of the BOND movie.

He is a spy, there are hot women and cool gadgets and he does not die!

But if it were eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, the story would be different.

I watched Baseketball two days before my exam. I forget what I watched the day of... but Baseketball... definitely can't go wrong with Baseketball...

But seriously, the general idea of relaxing the day before (perhaps also glancing at flashcards/notes) is a solid idea. If you're going to get the score you need, then you don't have to be nervous during the exam. Makes it a lot easier.

Here is another vote for not studying the night before your test. Just causes anxiety! Do something fun, but not too wild, and relax.

Dont panic.. enjoy the GMAT.. tell us you have got 700+

All the best!!!
