Last CAT before Exam

by Nailya » Sun Apr 12, 2009 2:01 pm
I have my exam in 3 days. I was trying to do a final CAT today to boost my confidence. I decided to do the GMAT Prep but have noticed at least half of the questions that I already saw before and just knew the answer. I scored 770 (700 and 730 on the earlier attempts), but it cannot be good representation of my performance because of the repeats. Can anyone advice a CAT test that is close to the real thing in question types and scoring algorithm?

I did 6 MGMATS, 1 Kaplan, 1 score800.

770! Wow...

3 days, you should just try and relax, ease out a bit. revise some 'not so friendly' concepts, write a couple of AWA's. Don't give too many CAT's in the last days but if you are really-really anxious, you can try your hand on Powerpreps. Powerpreps have an excellent scoring algorithm. When I took the GMAT, I always believed that powerpreps were second only to the GMATPrep.

Wish you luck on the GMAT.

Yeah, I wish 770 was an objective score but unfortunately it's inflated because I had many questions I solved already.

Thank you for your advice! :)

I agree - whether you get a 700, 770, or somewhere in between, you're in just about as good shape as you could hope for going into the test. I'd say that you're done studying - relax, rest up, maybe review a bit and do some "warm up" problems the day of the exam, but otherwise... be confident knowing that you're going to do great!

Do remember to post back with the actual results. Good luck!
