gave gmatprep1 today-dec 20th.
Q45, V33 - 640.
I dont know if I was just lucky or mgmat's are difficult. I felt verbal was easier than earlier.and to some extent quant too.
My actual gmat is scheduled for the 28th dec - 1 week to go., planning to give 2-3 more mocks in this time.
I have questions for you...
1. u were talking about a verbal grid that u drew before taking a break btw Q and V section. can u pls share what kind of grid.
2 .are the mgmat's really tougher than the actual exam?
thank u again for the excellent debrief. I have also noted down your time management tables for both V and Q. I am not able to finish Q on time though my timing on Verbal is just right. I guessed last 5 questions in quant.on my last two mocks.
1. The verbal grid I was talking about was jotting down A B C D E grid and timing for verbal.
2. MGMAT quant is definitely harder than actual GMAT. I have mixed opinion about verbal. Sometimes I found them too hard, but other times, it was easy. The real GMAT verbal is tricky. I was able to eliminate 3 choices easily. The other 2 were a tough call.
As you planned, give few more mock tests. Make sure your time management is good. Check Stacy's Ron's posts on time management. Most important thing to remember is to relax your mind. Dont put pressure. The more relaxed you are the better your performance in the main exam. Just check how I handled pressure in my post. One of the things were I just told myself that it is my career and that nobody other than me can control my career. Dont ever let the exam control you.
Good luck for your exam. Let me know if you have any other questions.
