complicated - weeks to go, from scratch - PLEASE READ
`For the last month, I have chosen not to post about my GMAT experience on any site. I have so been completely dejected and unsure what to do. . . Instead of wallowing in what happened (because I have the tendency to over-think to a point of paralysis), I took the last month to just “relax.” Unfortu...

3 days to the G-Day
I am in a similar spot as you - my test is on Saturday.
How much are your studying over the next few days? I am curious to know what your 'down to the wire' study method is since I am struggling with my own.

60 points in 6 days? performance breakdown & plan
(this is a long, detailed post) *sigh* Here we go – my test date is next Saturday morning (Oct 18th) and I do not have the option of postponing my test date. (personal reasons).

Have you been reviewing the flashcards from this site? No joke - I firmly believe that SC is the easiest Verbal Question type to improve, especially in short periods of time. Is English your native language? As you go through the flash cards, set aside each idiom card and tackle those more frequent....

I wasn't timing myself when doing the OG, but now I have started to do so. When I don't have to worry about time I get far more correct than when I am flipping out about the clock. I hope that after I start getting used to the clocked practices my Quant score can go up.

Practice Tests & Time Tips? getting really discouraged
What are some good practice tests online that I can take? free practice tests... I have done 2 kaplan practice tests (from the Book/CD). So far I haven't broken a 600 with Kaplan and it is already discouraging me! I study all my mistakes, have gone through the OG once and have started a second run t...

I am in the exact same position - I am going to begin studying full time for the exam in May, once my MBA program is over, and spend 2 months dedicated before taking the exam. I have been looking at different courses to take and materials. Small Group tutoring and private coaches are so expensive. ....
