Help required!!!

Hi,

I have a question. I have about 47 days left for the exam. I have started my preparations for the essay writing. I am more or less confident in both quant and verbal. I have not yet taken my gmat prep tests thinking I will take them in my final week. Do you think final week will be a little too late? What do you guys suggest? Should I take one of them and leave the remaining one for the last week?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
GmatGoal

You should take one now to see if you are overconfident. With 47 days left you could still make lots of progress; it would be terrible to realize in the last week before your exam that you're really 100 points below what you hoped for!

Take one of them, and save the other for the last couple weeks, but it sounds like you need either (a) confirmation that you are indeed scoring at a high level, or (b) a kick in the pants to get you studying for the last 47 days.

Good luck, and I hope it's the former!
