Hi Orchid I plan to take 4 days including the one of the exam, with Saturday and Sunday apart. That makes a total of 5 straight days off work before the exam. My plan was actually to have a simulation on Saturday and one on Sunday, starting right at the time when the exam is scheduled: 12:00. Then 3...

In the last month and a half I've been subject to a lot of pressure ...

I'm targetting 680, but 660 or 650 would do aswell.
I'm planning to take the exam before the end of the month.
And you?
Good luck for the test!

The only prep test that accurately mimics GMAT algorithm is the one you can download from mba.com
Get this first... although others are a good way to train you can't 100% rely on their certitude...

Other test prep companies merely try their best to mimic the algorithm and come close but are not really there. Also, MGMAT quant is slightly tougher than the actual GMAT. Once you take tests 5 and 6, you ...
