I take the GMAT the 13th of Feb. as I go over things, I panic thinking I don't remember any of this stuff (while I obviously do). I have been working almost exclusively for the last 2 weeks on math, and will spend a day or two refreshing on the verbal.
Any advice on what else to do so that I can go into this test feeling comfortable and ready to dominate? Just work quizzes? Focus solely on weaknesses? What to do with 4 days left?

As part of your preparations, I think you should work on adopting the proper mindset/attitude for test day. This will help alleviate some of your anxiety. To this end, you may be interested in reading the following articles:

Hi Slappy,

We believe you are prepared well for your GMAT.Its just that you are thinking a lot about your scores.Do not stress yourself.Keep your studies only until today.Try not to touch your books on 12th.Listen to some good music and relax.Mental relaxation is equally important to perform well in the exam.

On your GMAT day, just say to yourself "I know everything and I can crack it." And half the battle is won!

All the best.

Hi Slappy sanchez,

Most GMAT questions are built around 3-5 "steps." As such, you should NOT try to do all of the steps all at once - just do one step at a time. This way of "seeing" the GMAT, and organizing your work, should help with any anxiety that you might feel and break the 'task' of solving any given GMAT question down into manageable 'pieces.'

With 4 days to go, you should NOT do to much. Keep the review light (so NO CATS, NO cramming, etc.) and try to make sure that you're well-rested before Test Day.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
