Ya,
Finally i am taking the GMAT exam.Final prep going on.
Any way do you have any last minute suggestion for me.

may be some tips i should know,
may be some shortcut formula-they may come handy,
may be some verbal tips,
some of your fav for GMAT,
any information that might be helpful for me,
any math shortcuts,
or any thing that you feel may be helpful for me

even a 5-10 points+ will be great following these tips....
I am relooking into later part of OG questions and doing prep tests...

thanks...
please help
will be very grateful.

GMAT Score:670

Keep track of timing and keep ur nerves during the test.
I hope you have practiced 4 hour timed tests...All the energy gets drained by the verbal section.
Dont worry about extra formule etc. Its those 4 hours that matter the most...

If I could share my experience... On the actual test day... I took almost 4.5 minutes to complete the first Math problem, eventually i landed up with a 670 in August.... And I started off cold about 10 days ago...and gave a GMAT Prep scored a 690.

Apart from all the stuff you have been reading and practising I just want to say that GMAT is a test of intelligence (to some extent) so stop treating it as a test where f(x) = y where x is effort and y is a 3-digit GMAT score. If you are able to apply yourself well and understand what is being asked you should be on your way to a great score.

Some tips:

#1 - Stop believing some magic formula is going to save you. On the GMAT all questions can be solved by logic.

#2 - There are only a finite number of ways in which a question can be twisted. Don't fret over seeing something "unseen"

#3 - Ensure you are able to distill all questions to understand what values to plug in, what the assumption is, which rule is tested etc.

All the best and do well!
