Hey guys,
First of all, I just want to thank everyone on this board - though I haven't posted much, you all have been very helpful in figuring out the best way to tackle this exam.
I am signed up to take the GMAT in exactly 2 weeks. I've taken 3 practice tests:
1. Princeton Review - 730
2. Kaplan - 660
3. GMATPrep - 760
I'm shooting for a 99th percentile score, so I was pleased with that last practice test. Here's the question: The third test I took was about a week ago. Since then, I haven't had a chance to look at anything. I have two weeks left and am trying to decide between the following two choices. Either I could lay low, try to find the odd practice set and just make sure I stay sharp, and do my one remaining GMATPrep test a day or two before the official one, or I could do one of the 6 MGMAT practice tests I purchased every other day leading up to the real exam, doing the last GMATPrep one last. The reason I'm hesitant to do the second approach is a) it's a lot more work (though, if it's helpful, I'm more than willing to put in work) and b) there seems to be a consensus that the GMATPrep is far and away the best practice out there, so I'm slightly concerned that a MGMAT binge would throw me off.
One more question: I have yet to even look at the essays. How much time should I spend practicing them?
I would really appreciate any advice whatsoever from people who have come before me. Thank you so much.
