Hi Stacey, Thanks SO much for this. It's extremely helpful advice! I work full-time but have been squeezing in 2 - 2.5 hours every morning. Per my OG schedule, 40 questions a day (with two such sessions on the Saturdays) should let me complete the full OG by the 28th, which gives me a week till D-da...

Hi Jim,
Thanks very much for your advice!
The home is indeed distracting regardless of how quiet it is...and it feels a little too comfortable - exactly what the exam center will not be! 
I think I'm going to try the quiet coffee shop thing next weekend.
Thanks again,

Lost focus on practice test - tips to regain?
Hi everyone, Just posting here to vent my complete frustration. Took a PR practice test today and realized I was not concentrating 100%. (Probably because it's the first time, I woke up at 7AM to take a test -- my actual GMAT is booked for this time, so I'm trying to get used to those hours). I used...

If you are planning a career transition, full time is a better way to go. Future employers will see the irrelevancy of your career during the part-time MBA as a pretty big downside. ;) Part-time MBAs are good if you're planning to move up vertically, i.e. in your current field.

Practice tests sources
Hi everyone, I'm retaking the test for the 3rd time -- 2nd time was poor prep and poor test results as I had just WAY too much going on at work the three weeks just prior to the exam date - I was a bit shy of 600). This time, I have about 2.5 months prep time and my plan is to a) work 2 hours per we...
